Technically speaking both "mocks" and "spies" are a special kind of "test doubles".

Mockito is unfortunately making the distinction weird.

A mock in mockito is a normal mock in other mocking frameworks (allows you to stub invocations; that is, return specific values out of method calls).

A spy in mockito is a partial mock in other mocking frameworks (part of the object will be mocked and part will use real method invocations).

You setup your mock to return something when it receives a given device objet:

        Device device = new Device() ;
        Mockito.when(deviceDao.save(device)).thenReturn(deviceEntity);

This tells your deviceDao mock to return deviceEntity when it receives device as a parameter to the save method.

Mockito uses equals for argument matching. This means that if you call deviceDao.save(x), deviceEntity will be returned if x.equals(device) is true.

Your method:

public String  show(){
        Device device = new Device() ;
        device.setContactName("abc");
        Device deviceEntity = deviceDao.save(device);
        System.out.println(deviceEntity);  // i get this null always Why ???
        return "demo";
}

This calls save() on a new Device instance. I highly doubt that this device is equal to the one you setup your mock with.

One way to solve this is to use a broader matcher in your test:

Mockito.when(deviceDao.save(any(Device.class)).thenReturn(deviceEntity);

Or simply to ensure that the Device that you setup your mock with is the same as the one used in your code. I can't provide you with an example since your question does not include the code for Device.equals().

There are two options I'd advise here.

Option 1 (separate unit tests suite for service and mapper)

If you want to unit test then mock your mapper in the service (other dependencies as well OFC) and test service logic only. For the mapper write a separate unit test suite. I created a code example here: https://github.com/jannis-baratheon/stackoverflow--mapstruct-mapper-testing-example.

Excerpts from the example:

Service class:

public class AService {
    private final ARepository repository;
    private final EntityMapper mapper;

    public AService(ARepository repository, EntityMapper mapper) {
        this.repository = repository;
        this.mapper = mapper;
    }

    public ADto getResource(int id) {
        AnEntity entity = repository.getEntity(id);
        return mapper.toDto(entity);
    }
}

Mapper:

import org.mapstruct.Mapper;

@Mapper
public interface EntityMapper {
    ADto toDto(AnEntity entity);
}

Service unit test:

import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;

public class AServiceTest {

    private EntityMapper mapperMock;

    private ARepository repositoryMock;

    private AService sut;

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        repositoryMock = mock(ARepository.class);
        mapperMock = mock(EntityMapper.class);

        sut = new AService(repositoryMock, mapperMock);
    }

    @Test
    public void shouldReturnResource() {
        // given
        AnEntity mockEntity = mock(AnEntity.class);
        ADto mockDto = mock(ADto.class);

        when(repositoryMock.getEntity(42))
                .thenReturn(mockEntity);
        when(mapperMock.toDto(mockEntity))
                .thenReturn(mockDto);

        // when
        ADto resource = sut.getResource(42);

        // then
        assertThat(resource)
                .isSameAs(mockDto);
    }
}

Mapper unit test:

import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;

public class EntityMapperTest {

    private EntityMapperImpl sut;

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        sut = new EntityMapperImpl();
    }

    @Test
    public void shouldMapEntityToDto() {
        // given
        AnEntity entity = new AnEntity();
        entity.setId(42);

        // when
        ADto aDto = sut.toDto(entity);

        // then
        assertThat(aDto)
            .hasFieldOrPropertyWithValue("id", 42);
    }
}

Option 2 (integration tests for service and mapper + mapper unit tests)

The second option is to make an integration test where you inject a real mapper to the service. I'd strongly advise not to put too much effort into validating the mapping logic in integration tests though. It's very likely to get messy. Just smoke test the mappings and write unit tests for the mapper separately.

Summary

To sum up:

• unit tests for the service (using a mocked mapper) + unit tests for the mapper
• integration tests for the service (with real mapper) + unit tests for the mapper

I usually choose option number two where I test main application paths with MockMvc and write complete unit tests for smaller units.

As a temporary workaround, you can do the following:

trait MockitoHelper extends MockitoSugar {
  def doReturn(toBeReturned: Any): Stubber = {
    Mockito.doReturn(toBeReturned, Nil: _*)
  }
}

Then have your test mixin this MockitoHelper.

First, you can't prevent people from messing with your game by declaring things 'final'. There are reflection tricks and whole code generation libraries that make it merely slightly inconvenient to get past this.

So, lose the finals, and then you can use jmock or whatever library you like to make mocks.

I've needed this several times as well. I've put together a small sample below, which you'd want to adjust to your needs. Basically, you create your own Appender and add it to the logger you want. If you'd want to collect everything, the root logger is a good place to start, but you can use a more specific if you'd like. Don't forget to remove the Appender when you're done, otherwise you might create a memory leak. Below I've done it within the test, but setUp or @Before and tearDown or @After might be better places, depending on your needs.

Also, the implementation below collects everything in a List in memory. If you're logging a lot you might consider adding a filter to drop boring entries, or to write the log to a temporary file on disk (Hint: LoggingEvent is Serializable, so you should be able to just serialize the event objects, if your log message is.)

import org.apache.log4j.AppenderSkeleton;
import org.apache.log4j.Level;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent;
import org.junit.Test;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.is;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat;

public class MyTest {
    @Test
    public void test() {
        final TestAppender appender = new TestAppender();
        final Logger logger = Logger.getRootLogger();
        logger.addAppender(appender);
        try {
            Logger.getLogger(MyTest.class).info("Test");
        }
        finally {
            logger.removeAppender(appender);
        }

        final List<LoggingEvent> log = appender.getLog();
        final LoggingEvent firstLogEntry = log.get(0);
        assertThat(firstLogEntry.getLevel(), is(Level.INFO));
        assertThat((String) firstLogEntry.getMessage(), is("Test"));
        assertThat(firstLogEntry.getLoggerName(), is("MyTest"));
    }
}

class TestAppender extends AppenderSkeleton {
    private final List<LoggingEvent> log = new ArrayList<LoggingEvent>();

    @Override
    public boolean requiresLayout() {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    protected void append(final LoggingEvent loggingEvent) {
        log.add(loggingEvent);
    }

    @Override
    public void close() {
    }

    public List<LoggingEvent> getLog() {
        return new ArrayList<LoggingEvent>(log);
    }
}

You need a Method object and a Class object. As per your comment, Mockito cannot mock a Method, so you'll need a real one. I haven't tested this, but I believe this would work. Instead of:

when(mockContext.getMethod().getName()).thenReturn("someMethod");
when(mockContext.getMethod().getDeclaringClass().getName()).thenReturn("someClass");

You need:

// any method will do, but here is an example of how to get one.
Method testMethod = this.getClass().getMethod("logCallTest");

when(mockContext.getMethod()).thenReturn(testMethod);

Obviously, getName() will not return "someMethod" anymore and getDeclaringClass().getName() will return the name of this test class (in the example), but although you couldn't pick what they return, what they return is still deterministic, so you should be able to verify anything you need. (Of course, if you needed to spy or verify that a call was made on the Method object itself, you're still stuck.)

I was able to completely answer my own question.

In this example an address with the Locality of Louisville is generated while the other fields look like "address.getStreet1();".

private Address createAddress(){
    Address address = mock(Address.class, new StringAnswer() );

    when(address.getLocality()).thenReturn("Louisville");

    ISOCountry isoCountry = mock(ISOCountry.class);
    when(isoCountry.getIsocode()).thenReturn("US");
    when(address.getCountry()).thenReturn(isoCountry);

    return address;
}

private class StringAnswer implements Answer<Object> {
    @Override
    public Object answer(InvocationOnMock invocation) throws Throwable {
           if( invocation.getMethod().getReturnType().equals(String.class)){
               return invocation.toString();
           }
           else{
               return Mockito.RETURNS_DEFAULTS.answer(invocation);
           }
       }
}

You can implement this test functionality this way (Java 8):

myMock
    .expect(requestTo("http://myfakeurl.blabla"))
    .andExpect(method(HttpMethod.GET))
    .andRespond(request -> {
        try {
            Thread.sleep(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(1));
        } catch (InterruptedException ignored) {}
        return new MockClientHttpResponse(myJsonResponse, HttpStatus.OK);
    });

But, I should warn you, that since MockRestServiceServer simply replaces RestTemplate requestFactory any requestFactory settings you'd make will be lost in test environment.
