RE: [MO-java-dev] Suggested mod to ExpectationValue

[Tim M. <tim...@po...>]

Dan - something sounds strange there. In the legacy mock stuff the
ExpectationValue is used to check input parameters. There is a separate
object for results called ReturnObjectList. You probably shouldn't confuse
the two. Look at the code that MockMaker generates as guide.

However I wonder if you might be better of looking that the dynamic mock
stuff - we are mostly using that now and it has the concept of:

  anObject.expectAndReturn("getTitle", "Charles Dickens", "Great
Expectations");

E.g. you can set an expectation and set the return value in one step, which
I think is what you are hinting at.
