You must prepare the class containing the private method that you want to mock. Have a look at the examples in the documentation at www.powermock.org.

However when i am creating a mock object and using expectPrivate() to test the private method, why is that the actual method gets invoked? As far as i know, creation of a mock will simulate the method to be tested and will not invoke the actual method. Please help me with your feedback.

However, if you want to stub out some or all of the private methods, you have a few options. You could change the access modifier of the private methods that you want to stub out to package private, and then override them in a subclass, which you then test instead of the original class. Or, if you run Java5 or higher, you could use <a href="http://blog.jayway.com/2008/11/21/powermock-10-released/" rel="nofollow">PowerMock</a> to mock any private methods you want.

Is there a way to test a public method that contains more than one private methods in it?? Nice article… Is there a way to test a public method that contains more than one private methods in it??

This is why unit testing is so addictive! You probably also want to add validation to the setArticleNumber that the number actually have the correct format, ie 8 digits. And maybe even refactor out the ArticleNumber into its own class, DDD style? Nice! This is why unit testing is so addictive!
