So in our test, we are first creating the
ClientRequestFactory
class from the
URI
http://localhost:8080/ticket-agency-ws/rest/seat
. The factory
is then used to issue two
ClientRequest
; the first one will be used to book a Tick-
et, adding the URI
/4
, that will be translated on the server side as an invocation of
buyTicket
, passing as the ID value of
4
.
Next, another
ClientRequest
is issued to retrieve the list of
Seats
which will be
returned in the JSON format. The last piece of code uses a utility library named
JSON.simple (
http://code.google.com/p/json-simple/
)
that adds a thin wrapper over
your JSON objects so that they can conveniently be converted from/to Java objects.
Once we have got a reference to the fourth element in the
JSONArray
, we'll simply
check the Boolean value of the field booked, asserting that it has actually been
booked.
Compiling our Ticket example
In order to compile our project with the REST web service, we need to import the
JAX-RS API that is included in the application server libraries. This ensures that we
