Best practices for mocking Repository

[xbeumala]

Hi all,

First of all sorry for the double posting (I asked this in the NOSQL forum wiht no luck some days ago)

I've started using the MongoDb Spring Data and I have some services with references to different Repository interfaces (extending PagingAndSortingRepository).

I'd like to unit test these services injecting repository doubles or mocks.

Does Spring Data / MongoDb provide any testing facilities in these regards? Are there any practices to follow in this field or should I create my own mocks?

Many thanks in advance

it is not possible.

Why shouldn't it? As the repositories are interfaces only you can easily exchange them using a general purpose mocking library like Mockito, EasyMock or jMockit. Have a look at the Spring Data test cases for a general impression of how to use Mockito for example.
