[FIXED] Getting header values, Status code etc from Jax-Rs Response class in Junit

Issue

I am using Restful web Service using Dropwizard. And generating response as:

    Response response = resources.client().resource("/url")
    .header("CONTENT-TYPE","value")
    .post(Response.class, jsonRequestString);

Now I want to write unit test to ensure the returned content type is corrected in Response Object. how to do that?

Solution

You can use the ClientResponse type in Jackson. For example, using a GET operation:

ClientResponse response = Client.create()
                                .resource(url)
                                .get(ClientResponse.class);
String contentType = response.getHeaders()
                             .getFirst("Content-Type");
System.out.println(contentType);
