Mockito - spying on real objects calls original method

        ms.set("test value");
        System.out.println("Set contains: " + ms.get());

        enc.setCallback(new MethodInterceptor() {

            @Override
            public Object intercept(Object obj, Method method, Object[] args, MethodProxy proxy) throws Throwable {
                if ("get".equals(method.getName())) {
                    System.out.println("CGLIB decorated GET call");
                }
                return proxy.invokeSuper(obj, args);
            }
        });
        MySet ms1 = (MySet) enc.create();
        ms1.set("test value");
        System.out.println("Set contains: " + ms1.get());

        // decorate ms1 with easymock
        System.out.println("\n*** TEST 4 ***");
        System.out.println("Test on CGLIB decorated object with SPY");
        MySet spyMs1 = spy(ms1);
        doThrow(new NullPointerException("my test nullpointer")).when(spyMs1).get();
        spyMs1.set("test value");
        System.out.println("Set contains: " + spyMs1.get());
    }

    public interface MySet {
        void set(String val);

        String get();
    }

    public static class MySetImpl implements MySet {
        String val;

        public void set(String val) {
            this.val = val;
            System.out.println("Original SET call:" + val);
        }

        public String get() {

            System.out.println("Original GET call:" + val);
            return val;
        }

    }
}

Example above produces output:

*** TEST 1 ***
Test on unmodified object
Original SET call:test value
Original GET call:test value
Set contains: test value

*** TEST 2 ***
Test decorated object with SPY
Original SET call:test value
NullPointerException - as expected

*** TEST 3 ***
Test on CGLIB decorated object
Original SET call:test value
CGLIB decorated GET call
Original GET call:test value
Set contains: test value

*** TEST 4 ***
Test on CGLIB decorated object with SPY
CGLIB decorated GET call
Original GET call:test value
Original SET call:test value
CGLIB decorated GET call
Original GET call:test value
Set contains: test value

Now the TEST 2 and TEST 4 should throw NullPointerException on get call - based on mockito spy: doThrow(new NullPointerException("my test nullpointer")).when(spyMs1).get();

The "TEST 4" does not throw expected exception because it is already decorated with CGLIB - we can also see on the console that CGLIb call is being executed: GLIB decorated GET call and not call on spy object. The same effect can be achived when using Spring AOP with CGLIB proxies.
