Mule ESB - integration testing - REST endpoint - using MuleClient

Question

I am new to mule ESB. I am trying to do integration test for a rest endpoint exposed via mule flow. The following code, hits POST REST endpoint but how can we say the rest params and http method (get or post or delete etc.,) :

    MuleClient client = new MuleClient(muleContext);
    String payload = "foo";
    Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    MuleMessage result = client.send("http://localhost:5000/rest/resource", payload, properties);

Should we set any thing in the payload or properties (Map) that is passed ?

Answer 1

After looking into source code, I am able to set Http method with following properties.,

Example Get Request:

    MuleClient client = new MuleClient(muleContext);
    Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    properties.put("Content-type", "text/plain");
    properties.put("Accept", "text/plain");
    properties.put("http.method", "GET");

    MuleMessage result = client.send("http://localhost:5000/rest/resource?param1=268", null, properties);

Example Post request:

    MuleClient client = new MuleClient(muleContext);
    Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    properties.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
    properties.put("http.method", "POST");

    String payload = "{...json here...}";

    MuleMessage result = client.send("http://localhost:5000/rest/resource", payload, properties);

Hope it helps someone else.,
