Unfortunately, I can't do that. I have to subclass. I would prefer the
use of an interface, but I can't.<br>

If possible, I'd like to generate a skeleton of a class that could give
me the basic code I need to set up exceptions, setup test cases, etc.
is there something that will do this on a class instead of an
interface? I originally tried the&nbsp; MockCreator package but it generated
a file that was 300K large... *Really* not what I was looking for. <br>
<br>
What I'd like is to have something like this automatically generated:<br>
<br>
<pre>public class MyClass extends AnAbstractClass {
    Vector _v;
    int _int;

    public getInt() throws Eception {
      return _int;
    }

    public getVector() throws Exception {
      return _v;
    }

}
</pre>
<pre>public class MyMockClass extends MyClass {</pre>
<pre>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Vector _getVector;</pre>
<pre>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int _getInt;

    int getInt() throws Exception {
       return _getInt;
    }

    void setupGetInt(int anInt) {
        _getInt = anInt;
    }

    void setupGetIntException(Exception anException) {
         // Some voodoo here to make it throw an exception when getInt is called
    }

 .
 .
 .

  // Similar stuff for _getVector

</pre>
<pre>}</pre>
Is there a way to do this fairly painlessly? Or am I stuck coding each
of the methods by hand? :-(
