The rationale behind the practice is that a class that allows inheritance essentially has a fixed implementation that can not evolve without potentially breaking compatibility. Additionally if the class has concurrency behavior, inheritance that is not designed around an explicit synchronization contract can lead to all kinds of bugs.</div><div><br></div><div>If you do want to use mock testing, there are frameworks like easymock which can generate proxies for you, and your test code stays quite clean. </div><div><br></div><div>On Oct 17, 2015, at 9:40 AM, Greg Hellings <<a href="mailto:greg.hellings@gmail.com">greg.hellings@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><p dir="ltr">Ping.</p>

If there's good reason to not remove the final, I can just wrap the<br>

integration tests.But there are sometimes bits of logic in the handler<br>
