  • Method Details

    • canImposterise

      boolean canImposterise(Class<?> type)
      Reports if the Imposteriser is able to imposterise a given type.
      Parameters:
      type - The type in question.
      Returns:
      True if this imposteriser can imposterise type, false otherwise.

    • imposterise

      <T> T imposterise(Invokable mockObject, Class<T> mockedType, Class<?>... ancilliaryTypes)
      Creates an imposter for a given type that forwards Invocations to an Invokable object.
      Type Parameters:
      T - The static type of the imposter that is created.
      Parameters:
      mockObject - The object that is to receive invocations forwarded from the imposter.
      mockedType - The class representing the static type of the imposter.
      ancilliaryTypes - Other types for the imposter. It must be possible to dynamically cast the imposter to these types. These types must all be interfaces because Java only allows single inheritance of classes.
      Returns:
      A new imposter. The imposter must implement the mockedType and all the ancialliaryTypes.
