Mockito: how to stub getter setter

Question

I am kind of new to Mockito and I was wondering how I could stub a get/set pair.

For example

public interface Dummy {      public String getString();      public void setString(String string); } 

How can I make them behave properly: if somewhere in a test I invoke setString("something"); I would like getString() to return "something". Is that feasable or is there a better way to handle such cases?

I also wanted the getter to return the result of the recent setter-call.

Having

class Dog {     private Sound sound;      public Sound getSound() {         return sound;     }     public void setSound(Sound sound)   {         this.sound = sound;     } }  class Sound {     private String syllable;      Sound(String syllable)  {         this.syllable = syllable;     } } 

I used the following to connect the setter to the getter:

final Dog mockedDog = Mockito.mock(Dog.class, Mockito.RETURNS_DEEP_STUBS); // connect getter and setter Mockito.when(mockedDog.getSound()).thenCallRealMethod(); Mockito.doCallRealMethod().when(mockedDog).setSound(Mockito.any(Sound.class));
