I'm trying to test my DAOs with junit and easyMock.
All my DAOs extend org.springframework.orm.ibatis.support.SqlMapClientDaoSupport, as such, for doing a database operation i invoke method getSqlMapClientTemplate().<whatever>.
What seemed like an obvious way to test the DAO was to create a mock of the sqlMapClientTemplate object(using easyMock) so that i could configure it's behaviour. But then the problems started. First i couldn't get the DAO instance from the spring application context without defining the "dataSource" and "configLocation" properties which i shouldn't have to define for the test because i'll be using a mock template anyway. I defined the properties anyway but then i came to a full stop as i realized that class org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapClientTemplate is in fact not an interface, this makes it impossible for easyMock to generate a mock object for it.
So my question is, is there any easy way i can this tests ? If you think this is more a spring list question please tell me.
Thanks
Hugo
