Re: [MO-java-dev] ActiveCall class

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

The name was meant to indicate that it represents the call currently
"active" in the mock.  I agree that there is a better name.  Personally I
would like to name it "Call" because all the other uses of the word "call"
don't actually refer to calls but to things that can be called.

Perhaps Invocation would be a better name.

There is actually very little behaviour required, as far as I have used it.
It doesn't need to be compared to a method: it is constructed *from* a
method.  Other objects (matchers, stubs, etc.) examine the state that it
carries.  I guess some of that behaviour could be moved into the ActiveCall
class but that feels wrong to me.  Why should an invocation have knowledge
of the behaviour caused by that invocation?

Cheers,
            Nat.
