[Rmock-users] method of class under test requires a session

[Mark F. <mar...@gm...>]

Java 1.4.2, Junit 3.8.1 rMock 2.0

I'm a newbie to rMock and unit testing in general at this level so
forgive me for asking what are probably simple questions but I have to
learn somehow :)

I have a method that I'd like to test that requires that a session to
a back-end document management system first be established.  I'd
really like to test the method in isolation, without requiring an
active session but I can't figure out how to do it.   I can post the
code if necessary.  I tried mocking the session object but since the
class under test is retrieving the session and is not mocked it just
throws a npe.

I'd also appreciate any pointers to good references on unit testing,
especially using mock objects and especially using rmock.

Thanks,
