Re: [MO-java-users] Testing Java Mail API code

[James H. <jw...@al...>]

Ok, I found those definitions but I guess I'm a little fuzzy on how to best 
make use of them in writing my code and tests.  Are there any examples of 
how to make use of these classes?  I'm assuming this approach also falls 
into a pattern for mocking up code which needs to use functionality 
normally provided by static methods.  I'd be interested in seeing some 
examples of this pattern in action as well.

Thanks.
