How to mock a web server for unit testing in Java?
java, junit
Solution
Try Simple(Maven) its very easy to embed in a unit test. Take the RoundTripTest and examples such as the PostTest written with Simple. Provides an example of how to embed the server into your test case.
Also Simple is much lighter and faster than Jetty, with no dependencies. So you won't have to add several jar files onto your classpath. Nor will you have to be concerned with `WEB-INF/web.xml` or any other artifacts.
Problem
I would like to create a unit test using a mock web server. Is there a web server written in Java which can be easily started and stopped from a JUnit test case?
