Mocking concrete class via constructor call

[Sam Khan]

Hi,

I remember reading somewhere that it was possible to create a mock of a concrete
class while calling (and providing the relevant arguments to) a particular
constructor. I know I'm veering off the JMock path here but I'm hamstrung by not
being able to extract and then mock interfaces (due to various reasons). For
example, if I have the following class and constructor , can I mock it?

public Resource {

    public Resource(int param1, MyClass param2){
        this.param1 = param1;
        this.param2 = param2;
    }
}

Thanks,
Sam

In jMock 2, the ConcreteClassImposteriser creates mock objects of
concrete classes without calling their constructor at all. So you
don't need to provide constructor parameters.
