Inheritance

[Keith Rogers <ke...@mouchelparkman.com>]

Hi all,

I've got inheritance working for a few classes, but want to know if
there is any way of telling what the actual class of an object is...

For example, with an "article" object that is extended by "BookArticle"
and "CDArticle" - I want to get a list of all articles, but also to be
able to tell when I iterate through the results what kind of article
each one is... 

Ideally, I could go through the list and check for each article whether
it is a book or a cd, and cast as neccessary so that I can then access
the specific fields of the object relating to book/cd - Is this possible
using the current release of OJB?

Keith
