java - Calling controller from junit test -

how can call spring annotated controller junit test, in way spring comes play binding , all, without making http request (just mocking out request object)? has include whole shebang controller , down, jpa , database , all. using ejb, maybe bean can me?

the reason this, have automatic tests tests performance of specific controller calls, without client , network traffic.

thank you

there's section in spring reference unit-testing spring mvc.

here's relevant excerpt:

unit testing spring mvc controllers
test spring mvc controllers, use modelandviewassert combined mockhttpservletrequest, mockhttpsession, , on org.springframework.mock.web package.

reference:

• org.springframework.mock.web package summary
• modelandviewassert javadoc
