Check these out:

http://www.connextra.com/aboutUs/mockobjects.pdf

The Ruby version may seem a bit more complex because the nature of Ruby 
allows for some fancy code that dynamically builds a mock object based 
on the methods of a given class. But once you learn how this works it 
will be easier to use than mock objects in statically typed languages 
like Java.
