Sure, that was a typo ;)

AbstractDomainObject::getUid() is not part of the public API, see [1].
But anyways, public API does not mean, that a method can't be final.
As mentioned getUid() is final to prevent people from overriding it in 
their entity class which could have unpredictable side effects..

I think, using the accessible mock is a good alternative.
If you agree, I'd like to close the issu.

Best,
Bastian
