Embedding dependencies when testing in Spring Boot

Full Stack Software Development Blog

I am working on a proof of concept (POC) for embedding dependencies in a Spring Boot server.

The following is from the top of the readme in my github repository for the POC.

A Spring Boot project that connects to various resources (database, mongo, rest calls, JMS messaging, Rabbit messaging, legacy). Mock the connections for acceptance testing.

The flow is...

1. Receive a Todo message
2. Make a REST call (for no good reason)
3. Persist the Todo in a relational database

The server is setup to

1. Listen to the mailbox queue of an external JMS ActiveMQ server
2. Makes a REST call to http://worldclockapi.com/api/json/utc/now
3. Inserts into a Postgres database

When running tests the server uses

1. An embedded ActiveMQ server
2. Wiremock to mock the REST calls
3. An embedded H2 in memory database
