Is there a way to verify that a method on Spring Controller was called using Mockito

This is my Mockito Test:

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class Controller_Test {

    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @InjectMocks
    private EmployeeController employeeController;

    @Mock
    private InputValidationService inputValidationService;

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
        this.mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(restController).build();

    }

    @Test
    public void testGetEmployeeDetails() {

        EmployeeController spy = Mockito.spy(employeeController);
        MvcResult result = mockMvc.perform(get("/employee/details/9816")).andDo(print()).andExpect(status().isOk()).andReturn();

    // Have some basic asserts here on the result that are working fine


    }


    }

Now my question is, Is there a way to assert that the method I expected to be called in my controller was actually invoked.

I know it was, but how do I assert it with unit test

For e.g. This is my RequestMapping in the controller:

@RequestMapping(value = "/employee/details/{id}", produces = "application/json; charset=UTF-8", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    @ResponseStatus( HttpStatus.OK)
    @ResponseBody   
    public EmployeeDetails getEmployeeDetailsById(@PathVariable String employeeID) {

    //Some business logic

    }

Now I would like to make some assertion like:

Mockito.verify(spy, times(1)).getEmployeeDetailsById();

So basically I would like to assert that the method I expected to get called was the one that got called. I know this can be done on the Mock Service object that I have i.e. inputValidationService but would like something similar for the controller as well.

Please let me know if there are any additional details that you would like me to post.
