[Springframework-developer] Should DataBinder be an interface?

Hi,

In writing unit tests for my Controllers, I find I need to test the
initBinder method and test what I place inside the binder (via
registerCustomEditor).

I tried mocking the DataBinder class w/ easymock + cglib extension, but
it would generate an NPE.  The easymock list thinks this is a bug in
their code, though haven't heard from them since.

Is there a reason not to move (at some point) DataBinder to an
interface?  This would help with testing and mocks.  Another option
would be to create a MockDataBinder and add it to the spring-mocks.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Seth

W/regards to issues with EasyMock, you may also want to try jMock 
(jmock.codehaus.org). It's quite nice, and now at a 1.0 version. I find 
it nicer than EasyMock in some respects...

Thanks, I've taken a brief look at it.  We use mockobjects here, but
they don't support mocking classes.  The only thing I didn't quite dig
about jMock was that it looked like I had to create a subclass of its
TestCase class.  I couldn't just use it any old class.  I'll take a
closer look, though.  EasyMock didn't seem as easy as possible, and part
of that is the documentation style is very odd (plus, no javadocs on
their website??).
