Hi, guys,
I'm facing problem of mocking HttpServerExchange via Mockito which fails because HttpServerExchange is marked as final. This is a bit disappointing and forces me to use other testing framework(e.g. PowerMock).
I've never seen situation where one must use final on class, and many situations where it was removed. For example, last time in aerospike client code:
BEFORE (watch final method - client can't be mocked)
https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-java/blob/2.1.0/client/src/com/aerospike/client/AerospikeClient.java

AFTER(now final methods are still in place BUT class now implements interface I AerospikeClient - client methods now can be mocked via mocking interface)
https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-java/blob/3.1.2/client/src/com/aerospike/client/AerospikeClient.java

Can you explain what are the reasons to use final here? May be remove final or switch to interface?
