how to perform unit testing jersey webservice - web-services

Question

Actully I am trying to test my Jersey web service with the jersey test framework. the web server I am using is Websphere 7 and java version 6. This is my project requirement I cannot upgrade the java version .
My issue is how to build the unit test for my web service . I want to test them on WebSphere but I am not sure how do I setup the environment for unit testing like junit .
more specifically I just need to call an URL from the test class and check the response. But how to call the URL from the test class on the websphere I am not getting direction for it.

Have a look at the documentation for Jersey Test Framework.
First thing you need is one of the Supported Containers dependencies. Any of those will pull in the core framework e.g.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.test-framework.providers</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-test-framework-provider-grizzly2</artifactId>
<version>2.19</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Then you need a test class that extends JerseyTest. You can override Application configure() to provide a ResourceConfig as well as any other providers or properties. For example
#Path("/test")
public class TestResource {
#GET
public String get() { return "hello"; }
}
public class TestResourceTest extends JerseyTest {
#Override
public Application configure() {
ResourceConfig config = new ResourceConfig();
config.register(TestResource.class);
}
#Test
public void doTest() {
Response response = target("test").request().get();
assertEquals(200, response.getStatus());
assertEquals("hello", response.readEntity(String.class));
}
}
