I'm a newbie in Unit Test with Mock Object. I use EasyMock. I try to understand this example:

import java.io.IOException;

public interface ExchangeRate {

    double getRate(String inputCurrency, String outputCurrency) throws IOException;

}

import java.io.IOException;


public class Currency {

    private String units;
    private long amount;
    private int cents;


    public Currency(double amount, String code) {
        this.units = code;
        setAmount(amount);
    }

    private void setAmount(double amount) {
        this.amount = new Double(amount).longValue();
        this.cents = (int) ((amount * 100.0) % 100);
    }

    public Currency toEuros(ExchangeRate converter) {
        if ("EUR".equals(units)) return this;
        else {
            double input = amount + cents/100.0;
            double rate;
            try {
                rate = converter.getRate(units, "EUR");
                double output = input * rate;
                return new Currency(output, "EUR");
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                return null;
            }
        }
    }

    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (o instanceof Currency) {
            Currency other = (Currency) o;
            return this.units.equals(other.units)
                    && this.amount == other.amount
                    && this.cents == other.cents;
        }
        return false;
    }

    public String toString() {
        return amount + "." + Math.abs(cents) + " " + units;
    }

}

import junit.framework.TestCase;
import org.easymock.EasyMock;
import java.io.IOException;

public class CurrencyTest extends TestCase {

    public void testToEuros() throws IOException {
        Currency testObject = new Currency(2.50, "USD");
        Currency expected = new Currency(3.75, "EUR");
        ExchangeRate mock = EasyMock.createMock(ExchangeRate.class);
        EasyMock.expect(mock.getRate("USD", "EUR")).andReturn(1.5);
        EasyMock.replay(mock);
        Currency actual = testObject.toEuros(mock);
        assertEquals(expected, actual);
    }

}

So, i wonder how to Currency use ExchangeRate in toEuros(..) method.

rate = converter.getRate(units, "EUR");

The behavior of getRate(..) method is not specified because ExchangeRate is an interface.
