My question was a bit imprecise, what I wanted to ask: are you sure that when BUsesSingleton.uodate() is invoked in your test method, ASingleton.getInstance() returns the mock instance on which you set the expectations..?

I'm not familiar with Easymock, but are you sure that your fixture is set up properly and the singleton is returning the mocked object..?

In enterprise software development context, what circumstances doesn't allow you to use OOP as a programming paradigm.



Legacy systems written in a language that doesn't support OOP, e.g. COBOL, C, RPG..? Applying the principles of OOP could be possible in non-OOP languages, but beyond a point it becomes difficult...
If the application that produces the logs uses log4j, and you have write access to its configuration, you could add a SocketAppender that sends the log messages to your application. But you scenario is probably more complicated than this...
One example I could think of are programs which run on devices with limited memory/processing power. These applications are extremely small compared to enterprise applications, and the benefits OOP offers don't make up for the costs of object creation, late binding, etc.

How about making DAOFactory an Abstract Factory and using some DI framework to inject the implementation..? You could get rid of the no-rg constructor and you'd have one less case to test (instantiating the class using the no-arg constructor)!

StarUML can reverse engineer Java code and is freeware, but it is very buggy.

Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is much better, it's not free but according to many it's the best in terms of price/features.

As a start you can put your networking code in a separate class called Client. Hasn't your GUI code become shorter and more comprehendable..?



Is this more confusing than your version..?

but I also think theres a point of diminishing returns beyond which it causes more trouble than it's worth to try to force a separation.



As your application grows, separation of concerns becomes more and more important. Maybe you don't see the gains in a small "toy project", but in a large application with over 100k LoC large classes that try to handle everything from network/disk IO to presentation logic are the coder's nightmare!

Wrong, you should ALWAYS check the preconditions in public methods.


Uhm... I talked about private methods in this case.



Yepp, you're right, sorry. I'm too tired...

Marco Ehrentreich wrote: it's OK to have no null checks in this method because it simply expects that parameters should not be null when the method is used correctly



Wrong, you should ALWAYS check the preconditions in public methods. Assertions must be explicitly enabled, hence you can't rely on them for validating public methods as they'll be probably called by other people. You can use them to validate your private methods, you enable them during testing to make sure that you're using your methods correctly, once tested you don't need the extra checks...

Which message? The one printed with System.out.println()?
