Jersey rest test fails because of session inside of resource method

问题

I have Jersey rest api, but when I try to test it it fails because of I am getting session data there, so the questions is, how can I mock or ignore this session variable, which Jersey can't detect?

Here is a request from my test:

User response = target("/am/users/" + userId).request().get(new GenericType<User>() { });

Here is my resource:

@GET
@Path("{userId}")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON + ";charset=utf-8")
public User getUser(@PathParam("userId") String userId, @Context HttpServletRequest request) {
    User supportUser = (User)request.getSession().getAttribute("USER"); // Here is where it fails.
    User user = userDao.getUser(userId, supportUser);
    return user;
}

The problem is that the Jersey test is not running inside a servlet environment, which is something that is required to work with the servlet APIs. If you are not aware, Jersey does not need to run inside a servlet container. If the case of using the provider-grizzly2, if you don't set up the test container, it will default to running the GrizzlyTestContainerFactory, which only starts Grizzly and an HTTP server, not a servlet container.

In order to configure the JerseyTest as a servlet container, we need to override two other methods, configurDeployment and getTestContainerFactory. With the latter, we need to return the GrizzlyWebTestContainerFactory, which will set up the servlet container. In the configureDeployment method, we can configure the application, at the servlet level.

public class ServletTest extends JersyTest {

    @Override
    public ResourceConfig configure() {
        // configure Jersey
    }

    @Override
    public TestContainerFactory getTestContainerFactory() {
        return new GrizzlyWebTestContainerFactory();
    }

    @Override
    public DeploymentContext configureDeployment() {
        return ServletDeploymentContext
                .forServlet(new ServletContainer(configure()))
                .build();
    }
}

If you are using the provider-inmemory, it doesn't support servlet deployment, so you will need to switch over to the jetty provider or the grizzly provider.
