Question

I am using easymock for unit testing. I am trying to mock a method inside the test class.

ServiceEJB partialMockServiceEJB = EasyMock
            .createMockBuilder(ServiceEJB.class)
             .addMockedMethod("getStatusType")
            .createMock();

But it throws an error : multiple methods with the same name. I have overridden this method with different number of arguments. How can I show which of these overridden methods I want? How can I apply arguments here.

Thanks.

You can pass in the parameter types to distinguish between overloaded methods, e.g.

PortalServiceEJB partialMockServiceEJB = EasyMock
            .createMockBuilder(ServiceEJB.class)
             .addMockedMethod("getStatusType", int.class)
            .createMock();

BTW, this is not a partial mock because there is no real object that is being partially mocked out here. Also, you may want to consider Mockito as a mocking framework, the syntax is much nicer IMO.
