postProcessors - The post processors to use

Returns:

The request specification builder

setBody

public MockMvcRequestSpecBuilder setBody(String body)

Specify a String request body (such as e.g. JSON or XML) to be sent with the request. This works for the POST, PUT and PATCH methods only. Trying to do this for the other http methods will cause an exception to be thrown.

Parameters:

Returns:

The request specification builder

setBody

public MockMvcRequestSpecBuilder setBody(Object object)

Specify an Object request content that will automatically be serialized to JSON or XML and sent with the request. If the object is a primitive or Number the object will be converted to a String and put in the request body. This works for the POST, PUT and PATCH methods only. Trying to do this for the other http methods will cause an exception to be thrown.

Parameters:

mapper - The object mapper

Returns:

The request specification

setBody

public MockMvcRequestSpecBuilder setBody(Object object,
