Answer 1

According to the Spring Framework Reference for Testing you should be using annotations to autowire your mocks. The example in the spring reference:

`

    @WebAppConfiguration
    @ContextConfiguration
    public class WacTests {

    @Autowired WebApplicationContext wac; // cached

    @Autowired MockServletContext servletContext; // cached

    @Autowired MockHttpSession session;

    @Autowired MockHttpServletRequest request;

    @Autowired MockHttpServletResponse response;

    @Autowired ServletWebRequest webRequest;

    //...
}

`

A different example (without annotations) can be found here

Answer 2

I had a similar issue and solved it by adding this dependency to my pom and there is no need to change your javaee-api to javax.servlet

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
 <artifactId>servlet-api-2.5</artifactId>
 <version>6.1.11</version>
</dependency>

Answer 3

I need to replace dependency for javaee-api with javax.selvlet-api as below:

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
  <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
  <version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>
