How to do it...

Let us apply security model to some service methods and test them using Spring TestContext:

1. Add the Spring Test module, JUnit 4, and Mockito Maven dependencies to the project's pom.xml file.
2. Add a specialized Spring Security Test dependency to the pom.xml file:

        <dependency> 
            <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId> 
            <artifactId>spring-security-test</artifactId> 
            <version>4.2.2.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version> 
            <scope>test</scope> 
        </dependency>
