Re: [Mockobjects-java-users] Mock servlet objects--ready for use?

[Jeff M. <je...@cu...>]

The idea is to focus attention on what is actually happening in your
code rather than what you suspect is happening.

I maybe a little more work in some cases to setup a list instead of the
map but the results can be worth it.

If you use a map you can write something like this.
 
String value = this.getAttribute("key1");
System.out.println("value = " + this.getAttribute("key1"));

and it will test the same as this

String value = this.getAttribute("key1");
System.out.println("value = " + value);

Now did I really mean to do it the first way or should I have done it
the second way. Chances are you really want the second, but if you have
a list you have to explicitly setup the extra values.

The other thing you get from using a list is left over objects. The list
in the MockHttpServletRequest will check that all the object in the list
have actually been used. 

So

stuff.setupGetAttribute("key1", "Value");
...
System.out.println("Value");
// should be System.out.println(stuff.getAttribute("key1"));

would be fine but with the list this would fail as you've reached the
end of the test without using the value you setup to be used.

It's probably a good idea to mention that this is a fair new development
in the Mocks so it's use might be a little in consistent.

Hope this helps

As for patches. Please do send them in. I've got a strong policy of only
implementing those thing I use so I expect people to send me in patches
of the bits they use and I don't.
