Re: [MO-java-users] MockSocket

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

Ah, think I see your point. The problem is Socket is a final class so
the only way to mock it is to wrap it in an object which is mockable.
This is what the alt classes are for these are interfaces which mirror
the Java API + wrappers for the Java API versions and mocks of the
wrappers. This allows you to provide a mock enviroment for testing
against things like Socket.

The draw back is that you to uses this method you have to write your
code to use the interfaces not the actually API classes. It does get a
bit ugly when you have to interface with a 3rd party class which
requires a java.net.Socket as you have to get the real socket from the
wrapper and pass it into these classes. You can make this neater by
wrapping the 3rd party classes up in as well though.
