[BEAN-UITLS]setting super class using bean retrospection
Is there any way I can set super class using bean retrospection ?
I create a instance of a class is there a possible way to to add a super class using bean retrospection ?
Thansk & Regards

Miro,
I've done heavy editing to make the quoted post make sense. Forgive me
if I have inaccurately portrayed the question.

Ok, you want a wrapper class. Generally, this is done like this:
public interface Wrapped
{
int foo();
}
public class WrappedWrapper
implements Wrapped
{
private Wrapped _wrapped;
public WrappedWrapper(Wrapped wrapped)
{
_wrapped = wrapped;
}
public int foo()
{
return _wrapped.foo();
}
}
It sounds like you don't want to go through all that trouble to actually
implement the methods.

Right... this is exactly what I have above.

Well... that would be a subclass, not a wrapper class. Often, interfaces
and wrappers are accompanied with "adapters" which are implementations
of interfaces that don't do anything. They allow you to override some
methods and leave the others unchanged.
What I'd recommend in your case is a combination of a wrapper and an
adapter. In fact, you don't even need another class for the adapter...
just use the wrapper itself as the adapter. You can either formally
subclass WrappedWrapper to include something specific, or use an
anonymous class. Something like this:
Wrapped a = ...; // however you want to get this instance
WrappedWrapper b = new WrappedWrapper(a)
{
public int foo() { // overrides WrappedWrapper.foo()
doSomethingElse();
}
};
You could also look into using the java.lang.reflect.Proxy class, which
is super cool and will blow your mind.
To answer your original question: no, you cannot change the superclass
of a class at runtime. You'll just have to suck it up and write classes
like the rest of us.

I want a wrapper class for an object I do not want to write methods which calls method
Assume I have class
I have inteface
getString();
getLength();
Some class is implementing this.
At runtime I uwant to update this object by overriding method getLenth().
one way is create a new implementation this implemtation is just a wrapper to actual implementation
so in this wrapper I will say
getLenght(){
actualImplementation.getLength();
instead of doing this is there a way I create a class override only method getLength nad rest methods comes from super class .
Thanks & Regards

In a day of surprisingly accurate typos, retrospection
is *exactly* what you'd want to use.
What do you mean by "add a super class"? A class can
only have a single superclass, which is determined at
compile-time (AFAIK).
