I'm adding the following classes to the juneau-rest-server module to allow you to unit test your REST resources without the need of running them in a servlet container:

Here's an example of it in use...

Instead of routing requests through a servlet container, it simply creates the RestContext object for the resource and calls the RestContext.getCallHandler().service(request, response); method with mocked-up ServletRequest and ServletResponse objects.

Here's what it looks like in expanded form:

In theory, everything should work identically to how it would behave in a servlet container, only faster and more efficient.

The MockRest object can also be used with the RestClient class to perform serverless client-side testing against REST resource classes:

This last feature is useful if you want to perform serverless unit testing of REST proxy interfaces.
