RE: Inheritance

["Hoffman, Ira" <ir...@merck.com>]

All,

I have a table that stores different classes that are derived from the same
base class. The difference is the number of elements in a list. I want the
list to be initialized in the constructor...so the size of the list is based
on a data member of the parent class. Each sub class has access to this. Is
there a way to handle this with ibatis?

Thanks,
Ira

I'm not tracking what you mean. Classes in a database? number of items
in a list? based on a data member of the parent class? subclass has
access to "this". Ira, throw me a bone here my friend. What you are
saying makes absolutely no sense. Please, give us some more context.
Provide an example of what you are talking about. Then! we can
help...maybe ;-)

Thanks :)
Brandon

Hi Ira,

You lost me at the "numbe of elements in a list" part too. But the good news 
is that I think it's largely irrelevant to the topic at hand, which is 
inheritance.

The .NET version of iBATIS supports the <subclass> element, but currently 
the Java version does not. This is priority #1 on my list right now, and it 
shouldn't be a difficult enhancement. My only problem is finding the time to 
even get to my #1 priority item. ;-)

In any case, have a look at the generic (.NET and Java) developer guide by 
Ted Husted and tell me if the subclass element will work for you. If so, 
then you can look forward to it in the next version of iBATIS.

Cheers,
Clinton
