Re: [aspectj-users] AspectJ: help on setMockException()

I defined one more pointcut & the advice as you suggested:

But the exception thrown by SampleComponent1.check() is not handled by this aspect.

As SampleComponent1.check() is throwing NumberFormatException but not Throwable.

I think crosscut is not getting generated by ajc at the required joinpoint, as the

throws clause[Throwable] of pointcut is different from throws clause [NumberFormatException]

of SampleComponent1.check() method.

how can I achieve generalized MockException?

/** code for pointcut & advice */

pointcut allCallsWithThrowsClause(): execution(* *.*(..) throws Throwable) &&
!within(com.translogicsys.aspect.ComponentTestCase);

Object around() throws Throwable: allCallsWithThrowsClause()
{
  String className = thisJoinPoint.getSignature().getDeclaringType().getName();
  Object receiver = thisJoinPoint.getThis();
  if (receiver != null)
   className = receiver.getClass().getName();
  String methodName = thisJoinPoint.getSignature().getName();
  Object returnValue = ComponentTestCase.getMockReturnValue(className, methodName);
  Throwable t=ComponentTestCase.getMockException(className,methodName);
  if (returnValue == null && t!=null)
  {
       ComponentTestCase.indicateCalled(className, methodName, getArguments(thisJoinPoint));
          throw t;
  }
  else
  {
   return proceed();
  }
}

/** End of code */

Hi Enrique,

Thanx again. I did the changes whatever you adviced. I am getting this compilation errors.

[Where SampleComponent is the class which uses SampleComponent1 services. Please find the

attached the classes]

any idea?

hi Enrique,

Thanks for your quick response. Yes, I understood the signature of the method. But

how it should be implemented in ComponentTestCase & AspectBasedMethodInterceptor?

So that I can mock the different exceptions raised by different class methods which

provides service to the testing method.

Please send me the implementation details for setMockException() if you have.

Thanx in advance.

Hello everybody,

I read artical on 'Virtual Mock Objects using AspectJ with JUNIT' by Simon Monk.

In the end of the artical I read something about setMockException(). have anyone

used setMockException(method, exception) for your junit testing?

Please send me your code bits to my personal mail ID: venkat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, as

I am not able to access eclipse user groups.

Thanx in advance!

I downloaded the sample code and I saw that setMockException isn't implemented. I understand that setMockException indicates that the method (first parameter) must throw an exception (the second parameter)

Enrique J. Amodeo Rubio.

Here follows a quick draft of code (untested, uncompiled) only to catch the idea:

In ComponentTestCase

private Map exceptions=new HashMap();
public static void setMockException(String className, String methodName,Throwable t)
    {
        exceptions.put(makeKey(className, methodName), t);
    }

    public static Object getMockException(String className, String methodName)
    {
        return exceptions.get(makeKey(className, methodName));
    }

In AspectBasedMethodInterceptor

Object around() throws Throwable : allCalls()
    {
        String className = thisJoinPoint.getSignature().getDeclaringType().getName();
        Object receiver = thisJoinPoint.getThis();
        if (receiver != null)
            className = receiver.getClass().getName();
        String methodName = thisJoinPoint.getSignature().getName();
        Object returnValue = ComponentTestCase.getMockReturnValue(className, methodName);
       Throwable t=ComponentTestCase.getMockException(className,methodName);
        if (returnValue != null)
        {
            ComponentTestCase.indicateCalled(className, methodName,
            getArguments(thisJoinPoint));
            return returnValue;
        }
       else if(t!=null)
       {
             ComponentTestCase.indicateCalled(className, methodName,
            getArguments(thisJoinPoint));
             throw t;
        }
        else
        {
            return proceed();
        }
    }

In this way you can specify that a method will throw an exception. As you can see it's incompatible with returning values.
Perhaps you should use another pointcut instead of allCalls, something called allCallsWithThrowsClause.

Hope this helps !

Enrique J. Amodeo

allCalls pointcut doesn't declare any throws clause. Create a new pointcut and advice:

pointcut allCallsWithException() : execution(* *.*(..) throws Throwable) &&
    !within(com.kmsoftware.test.ComponentTestCase);

and
Object around() throws Throwable : allCallsWithExceptions()
{
    ...
}

continue using allCalls ang its advice for methods that not throws exceptions.
