[MO-java-users] Re: [MO-java-dev] Cretion of the dynamic mocks for classes vs. interfaces

[Nat P. <nat...@b1...>]

Sure, post patches to the SF patch manager.  Support for cglib is one of the
goals after the 1.0 release.

As for the OrderedInvocationDispatcher, experience has shown us that it is
not a good idea.  No matter what ordering constraints are expected in the
test, there are methods that can be called on an object at any time, such as
toString.  Often these are called within the test framework when creating
error messages and such.  If an OrderedInvocationDispatcher is used, calling
these "out-of-order" methods will create obscure error messages. If the
method was called while generating an error message, the final error message
will hide the actual error, making it hard to detect what went wrong with
the code.  So, our approach now is to use an unordered invocation dispatcher
and to explicitly define which expected calls have a required ordering.  The
definition of call order is not yet implemented, but will be very soon!

Cheers,
            Nat.
