spring - How can I easily mock out a static method in Java (jUnit4)

How do I easily mock out a static method in Java?

I'm using Spring 2.5 and JUnit 4.4

@Service
public class SomeServiceImpl implements SomeService {

    public Object doSomething() {
        Logger.getLogger(this.class); //a static method invoked.
        // ...
    }
}

I don't control the static method that my service needs to invoke so I cannot refactor it to be more unit-testable. I've used the Log4J Logger as an example, but the real static method is similar. It is not an option to change the static method.

Doing Grails work, I'm used to using something like:

def mockedControl = mockFor(Logger)
mockControl.demand.static.getLogger{Class clazz-> … }
…
mockControl.verify()

How do I do something similar in Java?

Do you mean you can't control the calling code? Because if you control the calls to the static method but not the implementation itself, you can easily make that testable. Create a dependency interface with a single method with the same signature as the static method. Your production implementation will just call through to the static method, but anything which currently calls the static method will call via the interface instead.

You can then mock out that interface in the normal way.
