Re: [Rmock-users] question about DTO's and Mocks

[Daniel B. <dan...@gm...>]

Hi Mick!
Is the problem basically that you want to use RMock's mocking
capabilities, but you don't want to extend RMockTestCase?
If so, at the moment it will be kind of tricky. RMocks test lifecycle
is currently a bit too tightly coupled with the JUnit class. We're
hoping to address this problem in a not so far future.

>From your mail I get the feeling that you test a lot of things at the
same time. Is there any way you could divide the code (and the tests)
in smaller pieces and by doing so you don't need the functionality
from two base test classes?

Also, by arbitrary, do you actually mean arbitrary or do you mean random?

And for creating objects from XML, I got like 900 hits on Google for
<"xml to object" java>. Are they all bad? :-)

Cheers
Daniel
