# REST API General Tips
## HTTP Status Messages
HTTP response status codes indicate whether a specific HTTP request has been successfully completed. Responses are grouped in five classes:
1. **Informational responses (100 – 199)**
2. **Successful responses (200 – 299)**
3. **Redirection messages (300 – 399)**
4. **Client error responses (400 – 499)**
5. **Server error responses (500 – 599)**
Often used codes in excercises are:
| Code | Name | Purpose |
| ------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **2xx** | **Successful** | |
| 200 | OK | The request is OK (this is the standard response for successful HTTP requests) |
| 201 | Created | The request has been fulfilled, and a new resource is created |
| 204 | No Content | The request has been successfully processed, but is not returning any content (may be returned for successful delete) |
| **4xx** | **Client Error** | |
| 400 | Bad Request | The request cannot be fulfilled due to bad syntax or content |
| 404 | Not Found | The requested page/resource could not be found |
If you don't know an HTTP Code you can use `HttpStatus..value()` class in Java
For example: `HttpStatus.OK.value()` returns `200`

## Making REST API Requests
### With ***WebClient*** object:
(e.g Spring WebFlux)
#### GET
```java
public void getAllPersons(CustomerSortingOptions sortingOptions, Consumer> customerConsumer) {
webClient.get()
.uri(uriBuilder -> uriBuilder
.path("customers")
.queryParam("sortField", sortingOptions.getSortField())
.queryParam("sortingOrder", sortingOptions.getSortingOrder())
.build())
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(new ParameterizedTypeReference>() {
})
.onErrorStop()
.subscribe(newPersons -> {
customers.clear();
customers.addAll(newPersons);
customerConsumer.accept(customers);
});
}
```
#### POST
```java
public void addPerson(Customer customer, Consumer> customerConsumer) {
// TODO Part 2: Complete the http post request to the server
webClient.post()
.uri("customers")
.bodyValue(customer)
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(Customer.class)
.onErrorStop()
.subscribe(newCustomer -> {
customers.add(newCustomer);
customerConsumer.accept(customers);
});
}
```
#### PUT
```java
public void updatePerson(Customer customer, Consumer> customerConsumer) {
// TODO Part 2: Complete the http put request to the server
webClient.put()
.uri("customers/" + customer.getId())
.bodyValue(customer)
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(Customer.class)
.onErrorStop()
.subscribe(newCustomer -> {
customers.replaceAll(x -> x.getId().equals(customer.getId()) ? newCustomer : x);
customerConsumer.accept(customers);
});
}
```
#### DELETE
```java
public void deletePerson(Customer customer, Consumer> customerConsumer) {
// TODO Part 2: Make an http delete request to the server
webClient.delete()
.uri("customers/" + customer.getId())
.retrieve()
.toBodilessEntity()
.onErrorStop()
.subscribe(deletedCustomer -> {
customers.remove(customer);
customerConsumer.accept(customers);
});
}
```
#### Just in case: webClient Constructor
```java
public CustomerController() {
this.webClient = WebClient.builder()
.baseUrl("http://localhost:8080/")
.defaultHeader(HttpHeaders.ACCEPT, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
.defaultHeader(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
.build();
this.customers = new ArrayList<>();
}
```
#### With Request Parameters:
Endpoint:
```java
@GetMapping("persons")
public ResponseEntity> getAllPersons(PersonSortingOptions sortingOptions) { // Don't use @RequestParams unless object is simple(for example String), for more complex objects Spring parses the object by itself
List persons = personService.getAllPersons(sortingOptions);
return ResponseEntity.ok(persons);
}
```
Request:
```java
public void getAllPersons(PersonSortingOptions sortingOptions, Consumer> personsConsumer) {
this.webClient.get()
.uri(uriBuilder -> uriBuilder // Use uriBuilder to build the path
.path("persons")
.queryParam("sortingOrder",sortingOptions.getSortingOrder()) // The fields are passed separately
.queryParam("sortField",sortingOptions.getSortField()) // In the format: ("Name",value)
.build()
)
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(new ParameterizedTypeReference>() {
})
.onErrorStop()
.subscribe(persons -> {
this.persons = persons;
personsConsumer.accept(this.persons);
});
}
```
### With *RestTemplate*:
```java
GetMapping("/getTimeLine/{id}")
public List getTimeLine(@PathVariable("id") int userID) {
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
ResponseEntity> response = restTemplate.exchange(
getActivityURL + userID, // Set the uri HttpMethod.GET,
null, // requestEntity = null as there is no body,
new ParameterizedTypeReference>(){} // response body type );
return response.getBody();
}
```
## REST API Endpoints
Example Java class:
```java
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/activity")
public class ActivityController {
private Map> userActivityMap = new HashMap<>();
private Map> userFollowedMap = new HashMap<>();
@GetMapping("/getActivity/{id}")
public List getActivity(@PathVariable("id") int userID) {
List userTweets = userActivityMap.get(userID);
if(userTweets == null) return new ArrayList<>();
return userTweets;
}
@PostMapping("/addActivity")
public void addActivity(@RequestBody Tweet tweet) {
userActivityMap.computeIfAbsent(tweet.getUser().getUserID(), x -> new LinkedList<>());
userActivityMap.get(tweet.getUser().getUserID()).add(tweet);
}
@PostMapping("/addFollower")
public void addFollower(@RequestBody FollowRequest followRequest) {
User follower = followRequest.getFollower();
User followed = followRequest.getFollowed();
userFollowedMap.computeIfAbsent(follower.getUserID(),x -> new LinkedList<>())
.add(followed);
}
@DeleteMapping("/deleteActivity")
public void deleteActivity(@RequestBody Tweet tweet) {
List userTweets = userActivityMap.get(tweet.getUser().getUserID());
if(userTweets == null) return;
userTweets.remove(tweet);
}
@DeleteMapping("/deleteFollower")
public void deleteFollower(@RequestBody FollowRequest followRequest) {
User follower = followRequest.getFollower();
User followed = followRequest.getFollowed();
List followedUsers = userFollowedMap.get(follower.getUserID());
if(followedUsers == null) return;
followedUsers.remove(followed);
}
@GetMapping("/getFollowedList/{id}")
public List getFollowedList(@PathVariable("id") int userID) {
// TODO: this method is also not complete, so you have to implement it accordingly :)
List followed = userFollowedMap.get(userID);
if(followed == null) return new ArrayList<>();
return followed;
}
}
```

## Protobuf files
#### Defining classes:
Important tips:
* Array in protobuf means ```repeated``` field
```protobuf
message Date {
int32 day = 1; // Number specifies order
int32 month = 2;
int32 year = 3;
}
message Location {
string city = 1;
string country = 2;
}
message LocationDate {
Location location = 1;
Date date = 2;
}
```
#### Defining services:
```protobuf
service WeatherReporter {
//Returning one object
rpc GetCityWeatherSingleDay(LocationDate) returns (CityWeatherData) {}
// Returning a stream of objects
rpc GetCityWeatherMultipleDays(LocationDatePeriod) returns (stream CityWeatherData) {}
}
```
#### Example of services and objects with **repeated** fields
This will be utilized by some of the client side examples underneath
```protobuf
service MetadataService {
rpc getTrackMetadata(EntitiesRequest) returns (Tracks) {}
rpc getAlbumMetadata(EntitiesRequest) returns (Albums) {}
}
message EntitiesRequest {
repeated uint32 id = 1;
}
message Track {
uint64 id = 1;
string name = 2;
string album = 3;
string artist = 4;
uint32 duration = 5;
}
message Tracks {
repeated Track track = 1;
}
message Album {
uint64 id = 1;
string name = 2;
string artist = 3;
repeated uint32 tracks = 4;
}
message Albums {
repeated Album album = 1;
}
```
#### Generating classes from *.proto* files
1. Gradle tab in IDE and press "Tasks > other > generateProto")
2. The generated classes from the proto file should be in build/generated/source/proto/main folder
## Server side
In practice can be done with streams or with simple iteration
```java
public void getCityWeatherSingleDay(LocationDate request, StreamObserver responseObserver) {
var data = allWeatherData.stream().filter(cityWeatherData -> cityWeatherData.getLocationDate().equals(request)).findFirst().orElse(null);
if(data != null)responseObserver.onNext(data);
responseObserver.onCompleted();
}
```
#### For returning a *stream* of data just call onNext multiple times
With iteration:
```Java
public void getCityWeatherMultipleDays(LocationDatePeriod request, StreamObserver responseObserver) {
for(CityWeatherData data : allWeatherData) {
if(data.getLocationDate().getLocation().equals(request.getLocation())) {
if(compareDate(data.getLocationDate().getDate(), request.getStartDate()) >= 0 && compareDate(data.getLocationDate().getDate(), request.getEndDate()) <= 0)
{
responseObserver.onNext(data);
}
}
}
responseObserver.onCompleted();
}
```
With streams:
```java
public void getCityWeatherMultipleDays(LocationDatePeriod request, StreamObserver responseObserver) {
var startDate = request.getStartDate();
var endDate = request.getEndDate();
allWeatherData.stream()
.filter(cityWeatherData -> cityWeatherData.getLocationDate().getLocation().equals(request.getLocation()))
.filter(cityWeatherData -> compareDate(cityWeatherData.getLocationDate().getDate(),startDate) >= 0)
.filter(cityWeatherData -> compareDate(cityWeatherData.getLocationDate().getDate(),endDate) <= 0)
.forEach(responseObserver::onNext);
responseObserver.onCompleted();
}
```
#### For returning an object which contains array of other objects (stupid???)
```java
public void getAlbumMetadata(EntitiesRequest request, StreamObserver responseObserver) {
Albums.Builder albumsBuilder = Albums.newBuilder();
for(int i = 0; i < request.getIdCount();i++) {
// Find the album by its id
Album album = database.findAlbumById(request.getId(i));
if(album != null) {
albumsBuilder.addAlbum(album);
}
}
// In case that an album isn't found builder builds empty list
Albums albums = albumsBuilder.build();
responseObserver.onNext(albums);
responseObserver.onCompleted();
}
```
#### If you want to return an error
```java
public void getTrafficData(RouteRequest request, StreamObserver responseObserver) {
var trafficModel = db.getTrafficModel(request);
var response = trafficModel.query(request);
if(response.isPresent()) {
responseObserver.onNext(response.get());
responseObserver.onCompleted();
} else {
// Just pass an exception with the onError method
responseObserver.onError(new Exception("No data available."));
}
}
```
## Client Side
#### Setup
The **blocking stub** is a placeholder on which functions are called. It needs to be received from the gRPC object in some way.
```java
public WeatherClient(Channel channel) {
// Get blocking stub from the gRPC object
blockingStub = WeatherReporterGrpc.newBlockingStub(channel);
}
```
or
```java
public SpotifyClient(Channel channel) {
// spotifyConnection is a wrapper defined in the excercise
// this is just an example that there can be other ways to get the stub
this.spotifyConnection = new SpotifyConnection(channel);
this.blockingStub = spotifyConnection.getStub();
}
```
#### Calling method with ***single object*** return value
```java
public void getCityWeatherSingleDay(int day, int month, int year, String city, String country) {
// Need to use builders to create the objects for the request
Date date = Date.newBuilder().setDay(day).setMonth(month).setYear(year).build();
Location location = Location.newBuilder().setCity(city).setCountry(country).build();
// Building the locationDate which will be passed as a parameter
LocationDate locationDate = LocationDate.newBuilder().setDate(date).setLocation(location).build();
// Getting the returned object from calling the method on the stub
CityWeatherData cityWeatherData = blockingStub.getCityWeatherSingleDay(locationDate);
System.out.println(cityWeatherData.toString());
}
```
#### Calling method which returns ***stream***
```java
public void getCityWeatherMultipleDays(int startDay, int startMonth, int startYear, int endDay, int endMonth, int endYear, String city, String country) {
// Building objects for the request
Date startDate = Date.newBuilder()
.setDay(startDay)
.setMonth(startMonth)
.setYear(startYear)
.build();
Date endDate = Date.newBuilder()
.setDay(endDay)
.setMonth(endMonth)
.setYear(endYear)
.build();
Location location = Location.newBuilder().setCity(city).setCountry(country).build();
// Building LocationDatePeriod object to be passed as parameter
LocationDatePeriod locationDatePeriod = LocationDatePeriod.newBuilder()
.setStartDate(startDate)
.setEndDate(endDate)
.setLocation(location)
.build();
// Method call returns Iterator for the stream of CityWeatherData
Iterator iterator = blockingStub.getCityWeatherMultipleDays(locationDatePeriod);
// Iterating over the objects
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
CityWeatherData cityWeatherData = iterator.next();
System.out.println(cityWeatherData.toString());
}
}
```
#### Calling method which has *parameter with **repeated** field*
```java
public String displayPlaylist(int[] playlist) throws SpotifyClientException {
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
EntitiesRequest.Builder builder = EntitiesRequest.newBuilder();
// IMPORTANT for REPEATED fields
// Add all id's to request
for(int id : playlist) {
builder.addId(id);
}
EntitiesRequest request = builder.build();
// Unlike in earlier examplese returns OBJECT which contains multiple Tracks
Tracks tracks;
tracks = blockingStub.getTrackMetadata(request);
if(tracks.getTrackCount() != playlist.length) throw new SpotifyClientException("Failed to get track metadata");
for(int i = 0; i < tracks.getTrackCount();i++) {
Track track = tracks.getTrack(i);
int durationInSeconds = track.getDuration();
int durationInMinutes = durationInSeconds / 60;
durationInSeconds = durationInSeconds % 60;
stringBuilder.append(String.format("%d. %s - %s (%d:%02d)%n", i+1,track.getName(), track.getArtist(), durationInMinutes, durationInSeconds));
}
return stringBuilder.toString();
}
```

## Dictonaries
Dictionaries are initialized with `{}`
```python
thisdict = {
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
print(thisdict["brand"])
```
```python
thisdict = dict(name = "John", age = 36, country = "Norway")
print(thisdict)
```
You can check if a key exists with the keyword *in*:
```python
if "model" in thisdict:
print("Yes, 'model' is one of the keys in the thisdict dictionary")
```
You can loop over keys and values in dictionary:
```python
for x in thisdict: # Loop over keys
print(x)
for x in thisdict.keys(): #Another way to loop over keys
print(x)
for x in thisdict: # Loop over values
print(thisdict[x])
for x in thisdict.values(): # Another way to loop over values
print(x)
for x, y in thisdict.items(): # Looping over key-value pairs as tuples
print(x, y)
```
Dictonaries are of type `dict`
### Dictionary methods
| Method | Description |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| clear() | Removes all the elements from the dictionary |
| copy() | Returns a copy of the dictionary |
| fromkeys() | Returns a dictionary with the specified keys and value |
| get() | Returns the value of the specified key |
| items() | Returns a list containing a tuple for each key value pair |
| keys() | Returns a list containing the dictionary's keys |
| pop() | Removes the element with the specified key |
| popitem() | Removes the last inserted key-value pair |
| setdefault() | Returns the value of the specified key. If the key does not exist: insert the key, with the specified value |
| update() | Updates the dictionary with the specified key-value pairs |
| values() | Returns a list of all the values in the dictionary |
## Lists
Lists are initialized with `[]`
```python
mylist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
```
List items are ordered, changeable, and allow duplicate values.
List items are indexed, the first item has index `[0]`, the second item has index `[1]` etc.
```python
print mylist[0]
```
You can also negatively index a list from the end:
```python
print mylist[-1] # This refers to the last item
```
To determine how many items a list has, use the `len()` function:
```python
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(len(thislist))
```
You can loop through lists like so:
```python
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
for x in thislist:
print(x)
```
### Joining lists
You can easily join list using the `+` operator:
```python
list1 = ["a", "b", "c"]
list2 = [1, 2, 3]
list3 = list1 + list2
print(list3)
```
Or you can iterate through one of the lists and append the elements **one by one**:
```python
list1 = ["a", "b" , "c"]
list2 = [1, 2, 3]
for x in list2:
list1.append(x)
print(list1)
```
Another way is to use the `extend()` function:
```python
list1 = ["a", "b" , "c"]
list2 = [1, 2, 3]
list1.extend(list2)
print(list1)
```
List comprehension is like **Streams in Java** and offers a functional way to iterate over lists
```python
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "kiwi", "mango"]
# Creates a new list from fruits which contains only the elements which contain "a"
newlist = [x for x in fruits if "a" in x]
print(newlist)
```
Lists are of type `list`
Other methods that you can use on lists are:
| Method | Description |
| --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| append() | Adds an element at the end of the list |
| clear() | Removes all the elements from the list |
| copy() | Returns a copy of the list |
| count() | Returns the number of elements with the specified value |
| extend() | Add the elements of a list (or any iterable), to the end of the current list |
| index() | Returns the index of the first element with the specified value |
| insert() | Adds an element at the specified position |
| pop() | Removes the element at the specified position |
| remove() | Removes the item with the specified value |
| reverse() | Reverses the order of the list |
| sort() | Sorts the list |
## Strings
Strings in python are surrounded by either single quotation marks, or double quotation marks.
'hello' is the same as "hello".
Strings are of class `string`
You can access a character of a string like accessing an array or list
```python
a = "Hello, World!"
print(a[1]) # This will print "e"
```
You can loop through a string:
```python
for x in "banana":
print(x)
```
You can get the length of a string:
```python
a = "Hello, World!"
print(len(a))
```
To check if a string contains another string:
```python
txt = "The best things in life are free!"
if "free" in txt:
print("Yes, 'free' is present.")
```
You can *slice* or get substrings from a string like so:
```python
b = "Hello, World!"
print(b[2:5]) # From 2(inclusive) to 5(not inclusive)
print(b[:5]) # From 0 to 5(not inclusive)
print(b[2:]) # Fromt 2(inclusive) to end
```
### Modifying strings
The `upper()` method converts to uppercase
```python
a = "Hello, World!"
print(a.upper()) # "HELLO, WORLD!"
```
The `lower()` method converts to lowercase
```python
print(a.lower()) # "hello, world!"
```
The `strip()` method removes any whitespace from the beginning or the end:
```python
a = " Hello, World! "
print(a.strip()) # returns "Hello, World!"
```
The `replace()` method replaces a string with another string:
```python
a = "Hello, World!"
print(a.replace("H", "J"))
```
The `split()` method splits the string into substrings if it finds instances of the separator:
```python
a = "Hello, World!"
print(a.split(",")) # returns ['Hello', ' World!']
```
You can concatenate strings simply with `+`
### Format strings
F-strings allows you to format selected parts of a string.
To specify a string as an f-string, simply put an `f` in front of the string literal, like this:
To format values in an f-string, add placeholders `{}`, a placeholder can contain variables, operations, functions, and modifiers to format the value.
```python
price = 59
txt = f"The price is {price} dollars"
print(txt)
```
You can add modifiers like .2f for two decimals
```python
price = 59
txt = f"The price is {price:.2f} dollars"
print(txt)
```

// If you want to test for any exception pass Exception.class however, that is usually discouraged and not needed
assertThrows(MalformedURLException.class,() -> course.setUrl("hjdahjsd"));
}
```
## assertDoesNotThrow()
```java
@Test
public void testSetOnlineCourseUrlWithValidUrl(){
OnlineCourse course = new OnlineCourse("test");
// Simply assertDoesNotThrow with a runnable
assertDoesNotThrow(() -> course.setUrl("https://test"));
// We need to handle constructor of URL throwing an exception despite knowing that it won't as we are passing it a correct URL
try {
assertEquals(new URL("https://test"),course.getUrl());
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
}
}
```

# EasyMock
- **Java reference:** https://www.baeldung.com/get-started-with-java-series
- **Java reference:** https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/22/
- **EasyMock:** https://easymock.org/user-guide.html
`@TestSubject` annotations automatically calls the constructor with the mockObjects. However it is not applicable for constructors with other parameters that are not mocked(for example primitive types). In such cases you can call the constructor of the **test subject** as usual inside the test or in a @Before method or wherever you want.
**Second example contains how to expect *void* method calls**
## Example with TestSubject
```java
// Needs to extend the tests with EasyMock
// If not extended you would need to manually initialize Mock objects
@ExtendWith(EasyMockExtension.class)
class DiscussionTest {
// TestSubject annotations automatically calls the constructor with the mockObjects
// However it is not applicable for constructors with other parameters
@TestSubject
private Discussion discussion;
// Mock objects need to be annotated with @Mock
@Mock
private Course courseMock;
@Mock
private Comment commentMock;
// TODO implement the tests
@Test
public void testComment() {
// First we need to record
// Expect a function call and set a predetermined return value
// This expects the method to be called exactly once
expect(commentMock.save()).andReturn(true);
// After setting all expectations we need to replay the mock - e.g set it so it behaves the way we recorded
replay(commentMock);
// Test your objects as usual
discussion = new Discussion();
assertEquals(0,discussion.getNumberOfComments());
assertTrue(discussion.addComment(commentMock));
assertEquals(1,discussion.getNumberOfComments());
// At the end you need to verify the mock - this checks whether the expected methods were actually called
verify(commentMock);
}
// The methods below show the same usage
@Test
public void testCommentIfSavingFails() {
expect(commentMock.save()).andReturn(false);
replay(commentMock);
discussion = new Discussion();
assertEquals(0,discussion.getNumberOfComments());
assertFalse(discussion.addComment(commentMock));
assertEquals(0,discussion.getNumberOfComments());
verify(commentMock);
}
@Test
public void testStartCourseDiscussion() {
Person person = new Lecturer("","",LocalDate.now());
String testTopic = "testTopic";
expect(courseMock.isDiscussionAllowed(person)).andReturn(true);
replay(courseMock);
assertTrue(discussion.startCourseDiscussion(courseMock,person,testTopic));
assertEquals(courseMock,discussion.getCourse());
assertEquals(testTopic,discussion.getTopic());
verify(courseMock);
}
```
## Example with custom Constructor (also contains expecting *void* call)
```java
@Mock
Platform platformMock;
...
@Test
public void addNoteGetsURIFromPlatform() throws URISyntaxException {
URI uri = URI.create("https://notes.tum.de/examplePath"); // An example uri your mock can return
String expectedWriteDataPath = uri.getPath(); // The path that the NotesServer should write to
// Set the mock to expect the call and return the set URI
expect(platformMock.nextURI()).andReturn(uri);
// To expect a void method call you can just call the method like usual before **replaying** the mock
platformMock.writeData(expectedWriteDataPath,"Some text");
// Replay the mock
replay(platformMock);
// Instead of annotating with @TestSubject we instantiate the testServer(System Under Test) inside the Test
NotesServer testServer = new NotesServer(platformMock, false, false);
// Test like usual
URI testUri = testServer.addNote("alice", "Some text");
assertEquals(expectedWriteDataPath,testUri.getPath());
// At the end you need to verify the mock - this checks whether the expected methods were actually called
verify(platformMock);
}
```
## If you want multiple method invocations
| Method | Behaviour |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `.times(3)` | Expects the method to be called **exactly** 3 times. |
| `.times(2,5)` | Expects the method to be called between **2 and 5** times (inclusive). |
| `.atLeastOnce()` | Expects the method to be called **1 or more** times. |
| `.anyTimes()` | The method can be called **0 or more** times (it will never cause `verify()` to fail). |
For *void* methods:
```java
commentMock.update(); // Call the void method
expectLastCall().times(3); // Set the invocation count
```
### If you want to check that a method is NOT called just replay without expect()
```java
@Test
void testSubmitAbsenceDoesNotAlertInstructor() {
/**
* TODO: Mock mailService.sendMail(...) to ensure that the instructor is not alerted
* Tip: By not specifying the behaviour of the mock you can afterwards verify if a method was NOT called
* Don't forget to use replay!
*/
Person person = personBuilder
.withFirstName("Max")
.withLastName("Mustermann")
.withIsInstructor(false)
.build();
personService.save(person);
Person instructor = personBuilder
.withFirstName("Ivailo")
.withLastName("Traikov")
.withIsInstructor(true)
.build();
personService.save(instructor);
List instructors = personService.getInstructors();
Absence absence = new Absence();
absence.setPerson(person);
absence.setComment("test");
LocalDate now = LocalDate.now();
absence.setDate(now);
absence.setId(Long.valueOf(1));
replay(mailServiceMock);
absenceService.submitAbsence(absence,false);
verify(mailServiceMock);
}
```
