Justin,
What you saying is certainly true generically. But I am specifically
talking about a class as follows:
public class JakeService extends Service {
}
In example code I don't think I usually see calls up to the super
implementations. That seems wrong. So when extending the Service class
do you call super before or after you do your own work? Wouldn't the
answer to this question be the same regardless of what my Service
implementation does?
