As long as it throws an exception (as I see you did in the jira) it will be perfect. I just dont want to perpretually have to say:
final MockEndpoint xx = getMockEndpoint("mock:direct:xx", false); assertNotNull(xx); That adds an unnecessary line to every call. If the method throws a runtime exception I can just let it percolate and get caught by the testng framework. *Robert Simmons Jr. MSc. - Lead Java Architect @ EA* *Author of: Hardcore Java (2003) and Maintainable Java (2012)* *LinkedIn: **http://www.linkedin.com/pub/robert-simmons/40/852/a39* On Sat, Sep 28, 2013 at 3:40 AM, Claus Ibsen <claus.ib...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > Yeah the getMockEndpoint with the 2nd boolean is much better > > On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 3:16 PM, Jan Matèrne (jhm) <apa...@materne.de> > wrote: > > Instead of overloading the method I would prefer another one: > > - getMockEndpoint will return the endpoint or null > > - createMockEndpoint will return the endpoint and create one if required > > But that would change the existing API of getMockEndpoint() :( > > > > Having a 2nd argument would result in > > getMockEndpoint(uri) { > > // use 'false' as it is the current implementation > > return getMockEndpoint(uri,false) > > } > > getMockEndpoint(uri,boolean create) ... > > > > Maybe it is just enough to improve the javadoc of getMockEndpoint(), > describe the > > "auto-creation" behaviour and link to context.hasEndpoint(uri) ... > > > > > > Jan > > > > > >> -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > >> Von: Raul Kripalani [mailto:r...@evosent.com] > >> Gesendet: Freitag, 27.
