Getting header values, Status code etc from Jax-Rs Response class in Junit

Question

I am using Restful web Service using Dropwizard. And generating response as:

    Response response = resources.client().resource("/url")
    .header("CONTENT-TYPE","value")
    .post(Response.class, jsonRequestString);

Now I want to write unit test to ensure the returned content type is corrected in Response Object. how to do that?

You can use the ClientResponse type in Jackson. For example, using a GET operation:

ClientResponse response = Client.create()
                                .resource(url)
                                .get(ClientResponse.class);
String contentType = response.getHeaders()
                             .getFirst("Content-Type");
System.out.println(contentType);
