Create AlbumControllerTest.java
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```java
package com.testcontainers.demo;
import static io.restassured.RestAssured.given;
import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.is;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.hasSize;
import static org.mockserver.model.HttpRequest.request;

```
Here's what the test does
@SpringBootTest starts the full application on a random port. The @Testcontainers and @Container annotations start a MockServerContainer and create a MockServerClient connected to it. @DynamicPropertySource overrides photos.api.base-url to point at the MockServer endpoint, so the application talks to MockServer instead of the real photo service. @BeforeEach resets the MockServerClient before every test so that expectations from one test don't affect another. shouldGetAlbumById() configures a mock response for /albums/{albumId}/photos, sends a request to the application's /api/albums/{albumId} endpoint, and verifies the response body. It also uses mockServerClient.verify() to confirm that the expected API call reached MockServer. shouldReturn404StatusWhenAlbumNotFound() configures MockServer to return a 404 status and verifies the application propagates that status to the caller.
