Overriding onInitialize() on Pages certainly may cause some problems, if you mix adding components there and in constructors in the same class hierarchy, but it will work with some care. I'm using onInitialize() to build Pages, because, in the infrastructure already built in a project I'm working on, I have to instantiate Pages to determine if a link to it is enabled or not. I don't use its 'construction', I don't need components. I just instantiate it to call a method 'hasPermission()' on it.
Well, please don't tell me I shouldn't do it, it works and works well. The only problem is that in 1.5 the method is final on Pages. Is there any workaround? Would you consider reverting this change? Or will I have to stay with 1.4 forever? Tetsuo
