digest-authentication

I am using RestEasy to develop a REST server and using the mock dispatcher (org.jboss.resteasy.mockMockDispatcherFactory) for testing the service in my unit tests. My service requires digest authentication and I would to make that part of my testing.

Each of my services accepts a @Context SecurityContext securityContext parameter.

Is there any way is inject a fake SecurityContext in the dispatcher so that I can test that my security methods function properly?

Auto mocking containers are designed to reduce the friction of keeping unit test beds in sync with the code being tested as systems are updated and evolve over time. This is one sentence how you define auto mocking. Of course this is a more or less formal. In a more informal way auto mocking containers… >>> More

Im learning Mockito and in chapter 16 they say you should not use partial mocking in new system.
