[add-on] mock cdi-beans with deltaspike

i've prototyped an add-on for apache deltaspike which allows to mock cdi-beans manually or with a mocking-framework.

an example for a simple cdi-bean:

	@RequestScoped
	public class MyCdiBean
	{
	private int count = 0;
	public int getCount()
	{
	return count;
	}
	public void increaseCount()
	{
	count++;
	}
	}

an example for a simple manual-mock for the cdi-bean:

	@RunWith(CdiTestRunner.class)
	public class ManuallyMockedCdiBeanTest
	{
	@Inject
	private MyCdiBean myCdiBean;
	@Inject
	private DynamicMockContext mockContext;
	@Test
	public void manualMock()
	{
	mockContext.addMock(new MyCdiBean() {
	@Override
	public int getCount() {
	return 14;
	}
	});
	Assert.assertEquals(14, myCdiBean.getCount());
	myCdiBean.increaseCount(); //no effect due to the mock
	Assert.assertEquals(14, myCdiBean.getCount());
	}
	}

an example for a simple mockito-mock for the cdi-bean:

	@RunWith(CdiTestRunner.class)
	public class MockitoMockedCdiBeanTest
	{
	@Inject
	private MyCdiBean myCdiBean;
	@Inject
	private DynamicMockContext mockContext;
	@Test
	public void mockitoMock()
	{
	MyCdiBean mockedCdiBean = mock(MyCdiBean.class);
	when(mockedCdiBean.getCount()).thenReturn(14);
	mockContext.addMock(mockedCdiBean);
	Assert.assertEquals(14, this.myCdiBean.getCount());
	myCdiBean.increaseCount(); //no effect due to the mock
	Assert.assertEquals(14, this.myCdiBean.getCount());
	}
	}

the same is possible in combination with qualifiers as well as with producers and @Typed beans.

the add-on is available here. the repository also contains several tests, which illustrate the supported use-cases. the tests use manual-mocks as well as mockito-mocks. however, you can provide any object as mock which is a subclass of the original implementation.
