So you can't inherit constructors ? That makes more work doesn't it ?
I'm not aware of a language that has constructors and allows them to be inherited, but CF doesn't have constructors, so it's a moot point. With CS, init methods are no called if they're inherited. I've supplied a patch (available attached to ticket 50) that will fix that, though I'm not sure it works against the latest CVS versions any more. It's actually more work to handle inheritance, because CS checks the CFC metadata to see if an init method is present. Ignoring inheritance requires a loop, while handling inheritance requires a loop with a recursive ascension of the inheritance tree (because of the way CF packages metadata. The same inheritance-free design exists for the BeanFactoryAware implementation, but my patch fixes this too. There is a valid set of arguments both for and against supporting inherited init methods (I'm on the 'for' side), but I think the setBeanFactory method (from BeanFactoryAware) should definitely allow inheritance. cheers, barneyb -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?
