Quote: I need to get a list of Publications and be able to determine the "type" of each
Publication, which is why I need to have a "type" attribute, be it a String or a PublicationType, on Publication whose value is provided by the subclass (Book) (end of quote) Couldn't you just do "instanceof" in your java code to see if a Publication entity is an instance of Book (that way you'd know the type). -- Chad Brandon - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.andromda.org _________________________________________________________ Reply to the post : http://galaxy.andromda.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2331#2331 Posting to http://forum.andromda.org/ is preferred over posting to the mailing list! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.
