Testing a JAX-RS Web Service?

Question

I\'m currently looking for ways to create automated tests for a JAX-RS (Java API for RESTful Web Services) based web service.

I basically need a way to send it cert

Keep it simple. Have a look at https://github.com/valid4j/http-matchers which can be imported from Maven Central.

    
        org.valid4j
        http-matchers
        1.0
    

Usage example:

// Statically import the library entry point:
import static org.valid4j.matchers.http.HttpResponseMatchers.*;

// Invoke your web service using plain JAX-RS. E.g:
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
Response response = client.target("http://example.org/hello").request("text/plain").get();

// Verify the response
assertThat(response, hasStatus(Status.OK));
assertThat(response, hasHeader("Content-Encoding", equalTo("gzip")));
assertThat(response, hasEntity(equalTo("content")));
// etc...
