Is there a way to use JMS in a JUnit test? - java

I want to run a JUnit test with usage of JMS. Is it possible to have a JUnit test use JMS outside of an Application Server like JBoss or a CDI container?

Provided that sending and consuming the message is completely decoupled from JMS, you could mock it.
For example: You can have a class that implements an interface like "IMyClassSender". In real code (non junit), all this class does is submit the message to JMS. In junit, implement IMyClassSender with a class that takes the input and instead if submitting to JMS, it passes it to your consumer class.
Alternatively, if you are using active mq: http://activemq.apache.org/how-to-unit-test-jms-code.html

You may also reconsider using an application server for this - Arquillian (http://arquillian.org) allows for executing unit and integration test within a JavaEE environment of your choice - and manages the app server lifecycle on its own.

Writing Java/Maven integration tests using webservice database and jms

I'm maintaining a Java Enterprise Application that exposes a few webservices and interacts with a few JMS queues and a database.
I've got most of the code unit tested and I thought all was good until in a refactoring I moved a class in another package and that changed a namespace in my webservice without me noticing and breaking all clients.
An Integration Test would have caught that, so I'm trying to write one.
The application is deployed on JBoss EAP 6.4, how can I make a webservice call in my mvn verify step?
What about JMS Queues? They are configured on the Application Server.
Is the application supposed to be already deployed?
Am I supposed to deploy the application with maven to a JBoss installation before the verify step or start an embedded webserver?
Most of the docs around are confusing to me and often I see suggestion to mock stuff, which is not integration testing (and I already do in Unit tests).
Someone told me "just use Jenkins" and I read the docs, installed it and still don't understand how that is supposed to help me write integration tests since all it does is run mvn verify anyway.
This topic and is too broad, there might be many different correct answers for this question and will depend a lot on the technologies you're using, so I'll focus first in this part only:
that changed a namespace in my webservice without me noticing and
breaking all clients
You can create unit tests for endpoints too, I do that all the time with spring-boot. For example, the code below starts the application, runs the testEndpoint() test and shuts down the application right after.
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = {MyApplication.class})
#WebAppConfiguration
#IntegrationTest("server.port:0")
public class MyControllerTest {
#Value("${local.server.port}")
private int port;
#Test
public void testEndpoint() {
String endpointUrl = "http://localhost:" + port;
// make a HTTP request here to test the endpoint
}
}
I believe this can be done with any spring-mvc application, but the code would be a bit different and not as easy as with spring-boot.
Although this would usually catch most bugs in endpoints, it doesn't eliminate the need of integration tests against a deployed project.
So focusing on the bigger picture now, if you want to create end-to-end tests, including WebServices, JMS queues and databases, I suggest creating a separate project with tests only, probably using Cucumber or something similar. This project should be triggered in Jenkins (or any other CI tool) whenever needed (e.g. before a deployment, every hour, every commit and/or every night) and it will require that all applications are already deployed.
Alternatively, you could have Jenkins deploy an application and run integration tests only against this one application. In this case the tests will depend on all other applications to be already deployed.

Amazon Kinesis + Integration Tests

I'm currently working on a series of web-services which we need to integrate with Kinesis - the implementation has been done, however we have a series of integration tests (our web-services are all using Spring Boot so we use the #WebIntegrationTest annotation on our test classes to start up a local instance of the server and then call our resources with a TestRestTemplate) which are currently trying and failing to connect to the real Kinesis.
Although in ordinary unit tests it's not a problem to mock out calls to the methods within the Kinesis library, we can't really do this in the integration tests as the whole application stack is wired up with Spring. For a few other things (such as OAuth2 and calls to our other web-services) we've been able to use WireMock to mock out the actual endpoints - what I'd really like to do is use WireMock in this fashion to mock out the call to the AmazonKinesisClient but I can't find any advice on how to do this.
Alternatively I have seen that some AWS components have test libraries written by third parties which allow you to run a local version of it (e.g.: DynamoDbLocal) but can't find such a solution for Kinesis.
Is anyone able to give me some advice on how to run integration tests with Kinesis?
It might already be too late to give the solution but I will add what my team has done to replicate AWS resources locally as we use a lot of Kinesis, DynamoDb, S3 and cloudWatch.
We have created wrappers around Localstack -> https://github.com/localstack/localstack that allow us to spin up local instances of the necessary services as docker containers using docker-compose.
A typical docker-compose.yml file for us looks like:
version: '2'
services:
localstack:
image: "localstack/localstack"
environment:
- SERVICES=kinesis,dynamodb,cloudwatch
ports:
- "4568"
- "4569"
- "4582"
Then during the setup phase for the integration-tests, our wrapper fires up docker-compose up and runs the tests against the local infrastructure.
Later during tear-down, the wrapper kills the containers.
I ran into the same issue and the only mock implementation I found so far was a nodejs one: https://github.com/mhart/kinesalite
It does the trick - I managed to run my Java Kinesis client against it, just had to set the endpoint on the kinesis.properties:
kinesisEndpoint=http://localhost:4567
The downside is that it is not trivial to use it during build time tests - need to figure a way to start the mock kinesis before the test (using a maven plugin or something), didn't get to it yet..
Just a small addition to the existing answers. BTW, they are great, you should really use tools like localstack to start fake AWS services before the test during the test phase.
If you're using JUnit 5 in your tests, your life could be even simpler with JUnit 5 extensions for AWS, a few JUnit 5 extensions that could be useful for testing AWS-related code. These extensions can be used to inject clients for AWS service mocks provided by tools like localstack. Both AWS Java SDK v 2.x and v 1.x are supported:
#ExtendWith(DynamoDB.class)
class AmazonDynamoDBInjectionTest {
#AWSClient(
endpoint = Endpoint.class
)
private AmazonDynamoDB client;
#Test
void test() throws Exception {
Assertions.assertNotNull(client);
Assertions.assertEquals(
Collections.singletonList("table"),
client.listTables().getTableNames().stream().sorted().collect(Collectors.toList())
);
}
}
Here, client will be just injected in your test class and configured according to the Endpoint configuration class.

JUnit Tests for RabbitMQ

I am building an application using RabbitMQ with Spring: so far so good.
To define Unit Tests I am using JUnit targeting an external server.
What I wanted to find out is if there is a way to mock the RabbitMQ server to perform tests, and if there is more than a way, which is the best one.
I found some posts around but they were made in 2012 or even before... maybe there's something newer, easier and more effective !
Thanks in advance
I wouldn't try to mock the RabbitMQ server itself; instead, mock your publication methods, channel factories, and so on in order to emulate error conditions (and the happy path, of course). What happens when your FoozleEvent.publish method throws an IOError, for example?
We use mocking extensively for tests in the framework itself; explore the tests for ideas. It's not too bad on the RabbitTemplate side, but mocking for the listener container is more involved.
In some case, though, a real integration test is needed and in that case we use a JUnit #Rule to ignore the tests if there's not a local rabbitmq broker.
To mock RabbitMQ in the Java world, there is a library that I am building : rabbitmq-mock.
The purpose is exactly the use case you describe. You can simply replace the amqp-client ConnectionFactory and you will have most of RabbitMQ features out of the box, without using IO (no port binding is needed) and without startup time.
Simply add the dependendy in your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.fridujo</groupId>
<artifactId>rabbitmq-mock</artifactId>
<version>1.0.14</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Then you can use it through a replacement of the ConnectionFactory you provided through Spring configuration or that Spring-Boot have provided for you:
#Configuration
#Import(AppConfiguration.class)
class TestConfiguration {
#Bean
ConnectionFactory connectionFactory() {
return new CachingConnectionFactory(new MockConnectionFactory());
}
}
Hope this will help !
Another approach, instead of mocking the RabbitMQ server itself, is to mock the dependent service on the other side of the external RabbitMQ server. You can do this using an async API simulation/mocking tool.
For example you can use Traffic Parrot which can be run in a Docker container as part of your CI/CD pipeline.
Here is a video demo of how you can use the tool to send mock response messages to a RabbitMQ queue in an aysnc request/response pattern. There is also a corresponding tutorial available to follow.

Manually setting up Spring WebSocket STOMP support

I'm trying to set up a STOMP WS endpoint using spring-websocket and spring-messaging. I am trying to do this manually: no application context is involved at all, and certainly no dispatcher. My goal is to wire up the appropriate Spring components in code inside a ServletContextListener, then register the wired up components directly with the javax.websocket.server.ServerContainer in my JSR 356 compatible container (Tomcat 7). At first, I would like to get this working with the "simple" broker built into spring-messaging; secondly, I would like to implement my own "broker" to directly integrate with an in-process ActiveMQ using the VM transport. This would be in contrast to the STOMP relay which spring-messaging also provides.
The Spring documentation states (http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/websocket.html):
"...Spring’s WebSocket support does not depend on Spring MVC. It is relatively simple to integrate a WebSocketHandler into other HTTP serving environments with the help of WebSocketHttpRequestHandler."
However, I am not finding it to be simple. Essentially, I started with:
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
ServerContainer websocketContainer = (ServerContainer) sce.getServletContext().getAttribute("javax.websocket.server.ServerContainer");
???
websocketContainer.addEndpoint(???);
}
And ended up with an incoherent mess of assorted spring-websocket and spring-messaging constructor invocations which do not compile and are certainly not worth reproducing here.
I realize this is a bit vague, this is because I'm a bit lost! Has anyone done something like this, or has some general guidance to contribute?
Did you try sample application - tests for the stock portfolio. (This link is at the very end of the spring documentation link).
It says
Demonstrates 3 approaches to testing a Spring STOMP over WebSocket application:
Server-side controller tests that load the actual Spring configuration (context sub-package)
Server-side controller tests that test one controller at a time without loading any Spring configuration (standalone sub-package)
End-to-end, full integration tests using an embedded Tomcat and a simple STOMP Java client (tomcat sub-package)
See the Javadoc of the respective tests for more details.
Second option is probably what you need.

Inject a bean from another application context?

Is it possible to inject a bean from a web application that deploy in another server!
I declare a scenario to myself, I have two web application that use spring framework and deploy separately in different application servers (one is TOMCAT and another one is WEBLOGIC),the first application has ServiceA and the second one has ServiceB, now I want to inject ServiceB in ServieA?
I try to do this with RMI once an another one with JMS, now I am wondering that:
Is it possible with another thing?
Is there any active project about this scenario exist?
How can share application context in spring framework, is it possible?
Thanks.
Bean is just an object in JVM. You certainly cannot use an object from one JVM in another JVM straightforward.
But you can do 2 things:
Use proxies - some objects that will have the same interface but invoke somehow to the proper server as implementation.
Use service-oriented architecture (SOA). Each server should have some limited set of beans that are responsible for their functionality. And all beans can interact with each other.
Maybe OSGI is suitable for this.
Web services, JAX-RS is the simplest. But JAX-WS provides you with the tools to automatically generate the client code.
