Integration tests with REST Assured and Jetty -

i have rest api running in jetty using eclipse' jetty maven plugin; , use rest-assured integration test. kept failing due connection refused. double checked rest-assured dependencies date, im wondering if jetty running during phase. here code:

dependencies:

<dependency>   <groupid>com.jayway.restassured</groupid>   <artifactid>rest-assured</artifactid>   <version>2.8.0</version>   <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency>   <groupid>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupid>   <artifactid>httpclient</artifactid>   <version>4.5.1</version> </dependency> 

jetty maven plugin:

<plugin>         <groupid>org.eclipse.jetty</groupid>         <artifactid>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactid>         <version>9.2.1.v20140609</version>         <configuration>           <httpconnector>             <port>8103</port>           </httpconnector>           <stopport>8005</stopport>           <stopkey>stop</stopkey>         </configuration>         <executions>           <execution>             <id>start-jetty</id>             <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>             <goals>               <goal>stop</goal>               <goal>run-war</goal>             </goals>             <configuration>               <scanintervalseconds>0</scanintervalseconds>               <daemon>true</daemon>             </configuration>           </execution>           <execution>             <id>stop-jetty</id>             <phase>post-integration-test</phase>             <goals>               <goal>stop</goal>             </goals>           </execution>         </executions>       </plugin>     </plugins> 

it code:

@test     public void testhead() throws exception {         //j-         given()             .port(port)             .head(url)   <-- /status             .then()             .statuscode(200);         //j+     } 

the error message see is:

looks me jetty not able start @ all? that's why connect refused? because versions of jetty-maven-plugin , rest-assured not compatible?

this exception occurs when there no service listening on port trying connect to.

please check following:

1. server down?
2. server not waiting/configured connection?
3. wrong port number while trying connect?
