class TestWithCustomTest extends junit.framework.TestCase
Implements a test case that tests code written by the XML source generator. This class uses a user-provided test class to test the generated source.Each user-provided test is allowed to return a Boolean, either a primitive or a java.lang.Boolean -- it does not matter. If the user-provided test returns a Boolean and it is false, then the test is considered to have failed. If the user-provided test throws or returns a Throwable, it is considered to have failed. If the user-provided test returns anything else (including void) then the test is considered to have passed.
Note: Returning Throwable is a little bit cleaner than throwing an Exception, but either is acceptable as a sign of test failure. This is because when a Throwable is returned, if -printStack is in effect, then the CORRECT stack trace can be displayed and not a stack dump from the refective invocation.
There is no requirement that the user-provided test implement any interface, nor any requirement that the user-provided test return anything at all. However, a test that returns "void" and that never throws an Exception is not a very useful test as it can never fail.
