There I go reading things too fast! I thought you said EasyMock!
I'm always glad to hear when somebody is using something I wrote! There is nothing stopping you from using it for more than just Entity/JPA/Hibernate OK, so the examples could do with some more work, but have a look at JavaEEGloss (If I recall correctly) It will call the @PostConstruct, @PreDestroy, etc. It also allows invoking the @AroundInvoke stuff though you do need to call them yourself. I should look at extending it to return a Proxy which calles the method interceptors for you! -Stephen On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 8:54 AM, Andrew Hughes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks David and Stephen.... > > Stephen, I am currently using EasyGloss, as noted in the review it works > very well!!!!
