Apache Geronimo JWT Auth is an implementation of Microprofile JWT Auth.
It provides a way to validate and interact with a JWT metadata.

=== Test a service layer (without servlet layer)

In 1.0.0 you have to mock a request and use the Geronimo JWT Auth extension
to mock the JWT context. In 1.0.1 this is simplified thanks to  `TokenAccessor`
abstraction which requires only to provide the "current" token.
In this same version a token can be instantiated thanks to `JwtParser` (previously you had to
implement `JsonWebToken` yourself).

Here is a test - assuming you have CDI injections, which is the case with Arquillian, Meecrowave etc...:

[source,java]
----
@SomethingToGetInjections
public class DemoTest {
    @Inject
    private GeronimoJwtAuthExtension extension;

    @Inject
    private JwtParser parser;

    @Test
    void testJwtService() throws ServletException, IOException {
        extension.execute(
            () -> parser.createToken(
                "my-raw-jwt",
                Json.createObjectBuilder()
                    .add("iss", "http://myissuer.com")
                    .build()),
            () -> {
                // do test here
            });
    }
}

TIP: if you use that a lot you will likely want to wrap it in a JUnit or TestNG extension.
