What is Mockey?

A testing tool, used to mock end point web services for the purpose of testing web service client applications.

Features

• Use Mockey as a proxy to a real service, to inspect request and response messages
• Set up Mockey to go through a corporate proxy server, to reach an endpoint web service
• Support for HTTP/s interactions (even if your corporate proxy server has https as an endpoint web service)
• Ability to 'play back' conversations for when endpoint services are not available
• Ability to run EVERYTHING in a sandbox - your application and the endpoint webservices your application is consuming.

What is Mockey not good at?

• Large payloads used in conversations, e.g. 10MB per message
• Transport protocols other than HTTP, e.g. FTP.
• Complicated conversations e.g. if X, then call this database, else if Y, call 'rake FOO', else kick-off-Maven.
• Solving everything

Getting Started - Quick

A pre-built jar: https://github.com/clafonta/Mockey/wiki/Downloads

To build one locally, see the following.

Via command line, build Mockey via Ant.

ant dist

After a successful build, do the following to start the app:

cd dist java -jar Mockey.jar --help

This will start Mockey and fire up your browser pointing at the defaults (port 8080, /home). Use --help for more options.
