如何使用 EasyMock 在 Java 中测试受保护的最终方法？

Question

I want to write test case for below protected final method in java using EasyMock. Is there any way to write test case of protected final method using EasyMock?

I tried to write TC using Reflection approach,but it didn't work.

Class < ? extends Entity > type;
private Filter filter;
private Input input;
private transient Service access;
private transient ConfigDao confdao;

protected final Limitation getBaseLimitation() {
    Validate.notNull(type);
    GroupClass Group = new GroupClass(GroupTypeClass.SELECTOR);
    if (A.class.isAssignableFrom(type)) {
        filter = new Simple(A.ATTRIBUTE_ACTIVE, Operator.EQUALS, Boolean.TRUE); //A class has static final static String ATTRIBUTE_ACTIVE = "Active";
    }
    if (G.class.isAssignableFrom(type)) {
        filter = new Simple("position", Operator.EQUALS, Position.ACTIVE);
    }
    if (Boolean.TRUE.equals(confdao.getconfdao().getarea())) {
        if (U.class.isAssignableFrom(type)) {
            Validate.notNull(input, "switched on.");
            Object Inputobj = input.getInput();
            return access.getBaseLimitation(type, Inputobj, Group, filter);
        }
    }
    return access.getBaseLimitation(type, Group, filter);
}

public Simple(String path, Operator operator, Object value) {
    this(Path, operator, new Object[]{value});
}

Any help would be appreciated.

If you are mocking getBaseLimitation() , no, EasyMock can't help you because final methods can't be overridden. PowerMock could help you but I would personally just drop the final .

If you are testing it, you can from a class in the same package. But EasyMock is not needed to do so.

Then, protected final is not something useful. Why being protected if you don't want to be overloaded? You better be package scope or private.
