I'm not sure if I get you right. Based on my interpretation are you
asking for some preTest/postTest methods ? If you need to do something
like this a lot of times, you could just write your own ICondition
that uses the template pattern:
public abstract class MyCondition extends DefaultCondition{
// the template methods
protected abstract void preTest();
protected abstract void doTest();
protected abstract void postTest();
// wire them up
public void test() throws Exception{
try{ preTest(); }catch (Exception e){}
try{ doTest(); }catch (Exception e){}
try{ postTest(); }catch (Exception e){}
}
}
Could you reword your problem, or give another example to clarify, in
case I'm mis-interpreting ?
