RE: [MO-java-dev] factorying calls on a per method basis?

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

We've been thinking about your problem... its an interesting one, which has
actually been quite rare over 4 years of development... but it seems a
reasonable request.../

anyway, I'm thinking that maybe match signatures should allow this level of
customization eg.

myMock.expectAndReturn(OneOrMore.eq("getSomething", 12))

vs.

myMock.expectAndReturn(One.eq("getSomething", 13)).

that is, the signature specifice the cardinality.

Some of the other guys have also been thinking of:

myMock.matchAndReturn(WildCardOne("get*", null)));
myMock.expectAndReturn(One("getLenght", 12)));

e.g. all geters will return null, but expect only one call the length which
will return 12.


In retrospect after all of the refactoring, having method signatures as an
oblect gives a possible the sweet spot that gives lots of interesting
behavior?
