On a sad and lonely bank holiday, Thorsten Scherler made my day by writing:

hi thorsten, hi everyone!


i'm extending the LenyaMetaDataGenerator to provide clean xml output that can be easily handled in xsl stylesheets. i started by copying and modifying it, and now i want to make it a clean subclass, because i only need to change one method (private void parseMetaData(String type)).

the problem is that many methods are declared private... are there objections against lifting the restrictions to "protected"?


yes.

can you be more specific?
what am i supposed to do instead? modify the original generator? or wrap it? if so, why? (note the "java *newbie*" in the subject :-D)

and, since i would like to submit it for inclusion once it's been cleaned up, what are the preferred coding standards wrt. whitespace and code formatting in lenya?

thanks. ummm, i think i used tabs quite a bit... i'll rework the patch later today.

best,

jörn
