public class SetTopRule
extends AbstractMethodRule

Rule implementation that calls a "set parent" method on the top (child) object, passing the (top-1) (parent) object as an argument.

This rule now supports more flexible method matching by default. It is possible that this may break (some) code written against release 1.1.1 or earlier. See AbstractMethodRule.isExactMatch() for more details.
