EasyMock as an easy to use alternative to jMock

EasyMock does exactly what its name promises: It provides an easy way to mock objects. I never really liked the way jMock needs to be used. mockery.checking takes an ExpectationBuilder named expectations as single parameter. But this parameter is a special initialized object of type Expectations - I always had to look into the docs and count the brackets. The auto completition feature of eclipse also works bad for this way of programming. Here is a sample test using jMock:

@Test
  public void testInterceptWithWrongSetSessionMethod( ) throws Throwable {
      final Method[] methods = getSortedMethods();
      final HibernateHelper hibernateHelper = mockery.mock(HibernateHelper.class);
      final IAnnotatedMethodLocator methodLocator = mockery.mock(IAnnotatedMethodLocator.class);
      final MockServiceBean serviceBean = mockery.mock(MockServiceBean.class);
      final Session transactional = mockery.mock(Session.class);
      final MethodInvocation invocation = mockery.mock(MethodInvocation.class);
      mockery.checking(new Expectations() {
          {
              one(invocation).getMethod();
              will(returnValue(methods[1]));
              one(hibernateHelper).openTransactionalSession();
              will(returnValue(transactional));
              one(invocation).getThis();
              will(returnValue(serviceBean));
              one(methodLocator).getAnnotatedMethod(invocation, HBSISetSession.class);
              will(returnValue(methods[1]));
          }
      });
      HibernateBasedServiceInterceptor interceptor = new HibernateBasedServiceInterceptor(hibernateHelper, methodLocator);
      try {
          interceptor.invoke(invocation);
          fail("exception expected");
      } catch (ServiceException e) {
      }
      mockery.assertIsSatisfied();
  }

And the next beautiful test method is using EasyMock:

@Test
  public void testInterceptWithWrongSetSessionMethodEasyMock( ) throws Throwable {
      Method[] methods = getSortedMethods();
      HibernateHelper hibernateHelper = EasyMock.createMock(HibernateHelper.class);
      IAnnotatedMethodLocator methodLocator = EasyMock.createMock(IAnnotatedMethodLocator.class);
      MockServiceBean serviceBean = EasyMock.createMock(MockServiceBean.class);
      Session transactional = EasyMock.createMock(Session.class);
      MethodInvocation invocation = EasyMock.createMock(MethodInvocation.class);
      EasyMock.expect(invocation.getMethod()).andReturn(methods[1]);
      EasyMock.expect(hibernateHelper.openTransactionalSession()).andReturn(transactional);
      EasyMock.expect(invocation.getThis()).andReturn(serviceBean);
      EasyMock.expect(methodLocator.getAnnotatedMethod(invocation, HBSISetSession.class)).andReturn(methods[1]);
      EasyMock.replay(hibernateHelper, methodLocator, serviceBean, transactional, invocation);
      HibernateBasedServiceInterceptor interceptor = new HibernateBasedServiceInterceptor(hibernateHelper, methodLocator);
      try {
          interceptor.invoke(invocation);
          fail("exception expected");
      } catch (ServiceException e) {
      }
      EasyMock.verify(hibernateHelper, methodLocator, serviceBean, transactional, invocation);
  }

Clean Java code using a nice and easy to use API.
