How to unittest a class using RestTemplate offline?

Question

I have a class which has direct dependency on the RestTemplate. I wish I have a JUnit test of it, offline.

How could I mock a RestTemplate in my unittest?

Answer 1

spring-social-test contains mockup classes that help write tests for RestTemplate. There are also some examples on how to use it within the git repository (e.g. OAuth1TemplateTest).

Please keep in mind that there's currently a Spring feature request (#SPR-7951) to move these classes to spring-web.
