What is the process of configuring SOAP service testing with WebServiceServerTest and MockWebServiceClient in Java?

edit

The process of configuring SOAP service testing with WebServiceServerTest and MockWebServiceClient in Java involves several steps:

1. Create a server-side JAX-WS annotated Java class or endpoint interface with methods to be tested. This class should be annotated with @WebService, @WebMethod, and @WebParam annotations.

2. Build the server side Java class or endpoint interface into a Java ARchive (JAR) file.

3. Create a JUnit test class for the server-side web service. Use the @RunWith annotation to specify that it runs with SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class.

4. Use the @ContextConfiguration annotation to load the application context configuration file that specifies the endpoint interface class and other configuration settings.

5. Use the @WebServiceServerTest annotation to annotate the test class, specifying the endpoint interface class and the path of the WSDL file.

6. Inside the test class, write methods to test the server-side web service methods.

7. Create a MockWebServiceClient class to simulate the client-side of the web service. This class should be annotated with @WebServiceClient, @WebServiceRef, and @WebServiceTestClient annotations.

8. Use the @ContextConfiguration annotation to load the application context configuration file for the client-side test.

9. Use the @MockWebServiceClient annotation to specify the endpoint interface class, WSDL location, and endpoint URL.

10. Inside the client-side test class, write methods to simulate client-side requests and test the server-side web service response.

11. Run the JUnit test class to test the server-side and client-side web services.

12. Analyze the test results and debug any issues.
