Using WireMock with Jetty 12

WireMock ships with Jetty 11 by default but fully supports Jetty 12 as well with a new module wiremock-jetty12. In this tutorial we are going to see how Wiremock could be configured to use Jetty 12.

Prerequisites #

• Java 17
• Maven or Gradle, recent versions
• A Java project, based on Maven or Gradle

Add WireMock Dependency to your project #

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.wiremock</groupId>
    <artifactId>wiremock-jetty12</artifactId>
    <version>3.5.4</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

testImplementation "org.wiremock:wiremock-jetty12:3.5.4"

Limitations #

There are few limitations that usage of Jetty 12 is imposing with respect to stubbing behavior.

• status message will not be returned to the client even if set by the stub explicitly

        stubFor(get("/my/resource")
            .willReturn(status(400)
                .withStatusMessage("ERROR")));
  
        URI uri = URI.create(wireMockRule.url("/my/resource"));
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) uri.toURL ().openConnection ();
        connection.setRequestMethod ("GET");
  
        assertThat(connection.getResponseCode()).isEqualTo(400);
        assertThat(connection.getResponseMessage()).isEqualTo("Bad Request"); /* the status message is not returned */
  

• when using multipart form data, the body is not decoded into plain text in case of base64 (or other encodings)

• serving files from configured file locations always ends up with redirect when folder (without trailing /) is requested
