how to perform unit testing jersey webservice

Question

Actully I am trying to test my Jersey web service with the jersey test framework. the web server I am using is Websphere 7 and java version 6. This is my project requirement I cannot upgrade the java version .

My issue is how to build the unit test for my web service . I want to test them on WebSphere but I am not sure how do I setup the environment for unit testing like junit .

more specifically I just need to call an URL from the test class and check the response. But how to call the URL from the test class on the websphere I am not getting direction for it.

Have a look at the documentation for Jersey Test Framework.

First thing you need is one of the Supported Containers dependencies. Any of those will pull in the core framework e.g.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.test-framework.providers</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-test-framework-provider-grizzly2</artifactId>
    <version>2.19</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Then you need a test class that extends JerseyTest. You can override Application configure() to provide a ResourceConfig as well as any other providers or properties. For example

@Path("/test")
public class TestResource {
    @GET
    public String get() { return "hello"; }
}

public class TestResourceTest extends JerseyTest {

    @Override
    public Application configure() {
        ResourceConfig config = new ResourceConfig();
        config.register(TestResource.class);
    }

    @Test
    public void doTest() {
        Response response = target("test").request().get();
        assertEquals(200, response.getStatus());
        assertEquals("hello", response.readEntity(String.class));
    }
}
