Encapsulating common functionality in SuperPage HOW?

[Lukasz Kucharski <lk...@gmail.com>]

HI

I have the  following problem.
I'd like to extract common functionality for all pages into one
MyBasePage which implement this common functionality.

Problem 1:
MyBasePage extends BasePage and add some functionalities there,
including some properties. I cannot declare properties in page
specification and use abstract getters/setters because I need pure
implementation here. So i need to ensure each property is reset after
page gets back to the pool. Here is the strange part

public class GenericPage extends BasePage {
	
	protected Logger log = Logger.getLogger(GenericPage.class);
	
	private String message = "";
	
	public void initialize()
	{
		//log.debug("Calling initialize in : generic" );
		this.message = "DUPAAA";
	}
(...)

}

I don't get it,  you see, every time i uncomment log line in
initialize method i get NullPointerException !!! and don't even know
why. What is worse message String doesn't get initialized here for
"DUPAAA" and when i read it in oter child class it gives me " " blank
value.
Please help!

2: Is this method of mine for common functionality encapsulation any
good or maybe someone knows better solution?

Thanks in advance!
