Hi,

I want to test an "Adapter" object that when it receives an xml message, it digest it to a Message object, puts message ID + CorrelationID both with timestamps and forwards it to a Client object.=20 A message can be correlated to a previous one (e.g. m2.correlationID =3D m1.ID).

I mock the Client, and check that Adapter successfully calls "client.forwardMessage(m)" twice with first message with null correlationID, and a second with a not-null correlationID.

However, I would like to precisely test that the correlationIDs are set correctly, by grabing the IDs (e.g. m1.ID).

But I couldn't find anyway to do so.

There is a jira about adding the feature, but no one commented and it is unassigned.

Is this really unimplemented?

I read about the alternative of redesigning the Adapter to use an IdGenerator object, which I can stub, but I think there will be too many objects.=20 Don't you think it adds unnecessary complexity to split objects to a so fine granularity?

Thanks, and I appreciate any comments :-)
