Mocking SOAP JAX-WS web services

[Stephen Kurlow]

Hello,

I've been using mockito for mocking Java classes and I am very happy with the experience and outcome.

I am developing a software system A that interacts with a client's software system B. The system B exposes a SOAP webservice endpoint and obviously I can get the WSDL file for it. Can I write a JUnit style test that has mockito like syntax where I can create a fake SOAP webservice perhaps using some open-source tool where the tool can be instructed from my junit test to launch a web server that imports the WSDL thereby exposing what appears to be a real endpoint but with no implementation, effectively stubbed. Can I then in my junit test tell the mocked web service how to respond given a certain input? Can I also verify if the mocked web service was invoked and how many times? All similar functional concepts present in mockito but for mocking of SOAP web services rather than Java classes.

Please point me to a working example! :)

BTW, I've had a peek at mockable.io but couldn't find a working example. :( If there is one but obviously I couldn't find it please let me know too.

Thanks,

Stephen

I can't offer you a direct solution to your question.

But maybe a design idea, which prevents you from needing such a thing.

How about if you create a small wrapper class, which does the SOAP-Magic inside and exposes a normal Java Interface to call.

Then you could easily mock this wrapper class and you would only miss a small part in your test.

The real call to the real web-service would have to be tested in integration tests.

Greetings,

You might consider using SoapUI (either Free or Pro).  With this, you can create a mock server that you could even deploy to a WAR server.  You handle requests with Groovy scripts that can produce mock responses.  You would then have to configure a client with the address of your mock server.

Hi,

if you are using CXF, I've wrapped SOAP endpoint mocking in a JUnit rule with Mockito:
