import ProductTier from '@site/src/components/ProductTier';

Explore creating REST APIs with XML responses using Spring-Boot. Discover the ease of integrating XML serialization through JAXB. Let's dive right in!

import InstallReminder from '@site/src/components/InstallReminder';

Pre-Requisite 🛠️

  • Install Java 17 and set JAVA_HOME environment variable.
  • Install Maven
  • Install Docker (optional)

Get Started! 🎬

Clone and Build the Application

git clone https://github.com/keploy/samples-java.git
cd spring-boot-xml/naive-spring-boot
mvn clean install

Run the Application

Start the Spring Boot application with:

mvn spring-boot:run

Record Test Cases

keploy record -c "java -jar target/XML-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"

Then, invoke the API using curl or your favorite API testing tool.

API Endpoints 📡

Get User Data (XML)

  • Endpoint: GET /api/user

Make a request using curl:

curl -X GET -H \"Accept: application/xml\" http://localhost:8080/api/user
  • Endpoint: GET /api/users

Make a request using curl:

curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/api/users -H "Accept: application/xml"
  • Endpoint: GET /api/people

Make a request using curl:

curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/api/people -H "Accept: application/xml"

Example XML Response

<User>
    <name>John Doe</name>
    <age>30</age>
    <phone>0101233333</phone>
</User>

Run Generated Tests

Execute recorded tests:

keploy test -c "java -jar target/XML-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar" --delay 10

Review generated test reports in Keploy/reports.

Handling Failing Tests ⚠️

If you encounter failing tests due to variable or irrelevant data, like timestamps or dynamically generated fields, you can add them to the global noise configuration in your keploy.yml:

Example:

<img src="/docs/img/java-spring-boot-header.png" alt="Sample Keploy test header" width="100%" style={{ borderRadius: '5px' }} />

globalNoise:
  global:
    header.Date: []
    body:
      # To ignore some values for a field, pass regex patterns to the corresponding array value
      UserList: []

After updating keploy.yml with the above configuration, rerun your tests, and the issue should be resolved.
