= MockMvc vs End-to-End Tests

MockMvc is built on Servlet API mock implementations from the
`spring-test` module and does not rely on a running container. Therefore, there are
some differences when compared to full end-to-end integration tests with an actual
client and a live server running.

[[spring-mvc-test-vs-streaming-response]]
= Streaming Responses
The best way to test streaming responses such as Server-Sent Events is through the
<<WebTestClient>> which can be used as a test client to connect to a `MockMvc` instance
to perform tests on Spring MVC controllers without a running server. For example:
You can use `WebTestClient` to test xref:testing/webtestclient.adoc#webtestclient-stream[streaming responses]
such as Server-Sent Events. However, `MockMvcWebTestClient` doesn't support infinite
streams because there is no way to cancel the server stream from the client side.
To test infinite streams, you'll need to
xref:testing/webtestclient.adoc#webtestclient-server-config[bind to] a running server,
or when using Spring Boot,
{spring-boot-docs}/spring-boot-features.html#boot-features-testing-spring-boot-applications-testing-with-running-server[test with a running server].

`WebTestClient` can also connect to a live server and perform full end-to-end integration
tests. This is also supported in Spring Boot where you can
{spring-boot-docs}/spring-boot-features.html#boot-features-testing-spring-boot-applications-testing-with-running-server[test a running server].
`MockMvcWebTestClient` does support asynchronous responses, and even streaming responses.
The limitation is that it can't influence the server to stop, and therefore the server
must finish writing the response on its own.

slashes and path extensions transparently, along with other path matching options. Many
of these options have been deprecated but the potential for a mismatch remains.
Generally, we recommend using Spring Security which includes a dedicated

NOTE: The XML config declares interceptors as `MappedInterceptor` beans, and those are in
turn detected by any `HandlerMapping` bean, including those from other frameworks.

[[mvc-handlermapping-interceptor]]
= Interception
All `HandlerMapping` implementations support handler interceptors that are useful when
you want to apply specific functionality to certain requests -- for example, checking for
a principal. Interceptors must implement `HandlerInterceptor` from the
`org.springframework.web.servlet` package with three methods that should provide enough
flexibility to do all kinds of pre-processing and post-processing:
All `HandlerMapping` implementations support handler interception which is useful when
you want to apply functionality across requests. A `HandlerInterceptor` can implement the
following:
* `preHandle(..)`: Before the actual handler is run
* `postHandle(..)`: After the handler is run
* `afterCompletion(..)`: After the complete request has finished
* `preHandle(..)` -- callback before the actual handler is run that returns a boolean.
If the method returns `true`, execution continues; if it returns `false`, the rest of the
execution chain is bypassed and the handler is not called.
* `postHandle(..)` -- callback after the handler is run.
* `afterCompletion(..)` -- callback after the complete request has finished.
The `preHandle(..)` method returns a boolean value. You can use this method to break or
continue the processing of the execution chain. When this method returns `true`, the
handler execution chain continues. When it returns false, the `DispatcherServlet`
assumes the interceptor itself has taken care of requests (and, for example, rendered an
appropriate view) and does not continue executing the other interceptors and the actual
handler in the execution chain.
NOTE: For `@ResponseBody` and `ResponseEntity` controller methods, the response is written
and committed within the `HandlerAdapter`, before `postHandle` is called. That means it is
too late to change the response, such as to add an extra header. You can implement
`ResponseBodyAdvice` and declare it as an
xref:web/webmvc/mvc-controller/ann-advice.adoc[Controller Advice] bean or configure it
directly on `RequestMappingHandlerAdapter`.
See xref:web/webmvc/mvc-config/interceptors.adoc[Interceptors] in the section on MVC configuration for examples of how to
configure interceptors. You can also register them directly by using setters on individual
`HandlerMapping` implementations.
`postHandle` method is less useful with `@ResponseBody` and `ResponseEntity` methods for
which the response is written and committed within the `HandlerAdapter` and before
`postHandle`. That means it is too late to make any changes to the response, such as adding
an extra header. For such scenarios, you can implement `ResponseBodyAdvice` and either
declare it as an xref:web/webmvc/mvc-controller/ann-advice.adoc[Controller Advice] bean or configure it directly on
`RequestMappingHandlerAdapter`.
WARNING: Interceptors are not ideally suited as a security layer due to the potential for
a mismatch with annotated controller path matching. Generally, we recommend using Spring
Security, or alternatively a similar approach integrated with the Servlet filter chain,
