Spring In Action Code question related to dependancy injection

[Vishal Hegde]

package com.springinaction.knights;
import staticorg.mockito.Mockito.*;
import org.junit.Test;
public classBraveKnightTest{
@Test
public voidknightShouldEmbarkOnQuest()throwsQuestException{
Quest mockQuest=mock(Quest.class);
BraveKnightknight=newBraveKnight(mockQuest);
knight.embarkOnQuest();
verify(mockQuest,times(1)).embark();
}
}

I am having confusion reading the above code the very first doubt is for the line

import staticorg.mockito.Mockito.* 
import org.junit.Test;

Is this a predefined or user defined.

In the below code Quest is stated as an Interface, but from where does mock comes from and what is mock(Quest.class) implies?

Quest mockQuest=mock(Quest.class);

Well first of all when posting code please use proper indentation. There should also be a space between static and org i.e.

import static org.mockito.Mockito.*;

If you are asing what is a static import? Then that question would be better suited for the Beginning Java Forum.

Basically it allows you to say

Quest mockQuest = mock(Quest.class); 

instead of

Quest mockQues = Mockito.mock(Quest.class); 

What do you mean user defined or predefined?

If you are asking if Mockito is something written for the book it is not. It is a testing framework see here:
