Yes and no ;-) The current implementation walks the hierarchy but it uses the 
Class.getMethod method to find the method, which actually only returns public 
methods. So walking the hierarchy is essentially useless.

Just using getDeclaredMethod is not fully correct, because you probably don't 
want to use a private method from a super class or a package private method 
from a super class in a different package. Which is why I also refer to the DS 
specification, which explains how to actually find and select methods from 
superclasses.

I somehow have the impression that subclassing is not a concern for 
InventoryPrinter services and in fact may not even make sense. Which is 
probably also why Web Console 4 does not walk the class hierarchy for finding 
ConfigurationPrinter methods.
