Hi,

I would like to make a generic method for inserting objects from 2
classes, lets say class Cat and class Dog (both coming from Animal),
instead of using to different insert methods (this would be insertCat()
and insertDog().
My approach is the following:


public void insertAnimal(final Animal newAnimal) throw AnimalException
{
/*
        Implementation odmg = is the implementation;
        Database db = is the database already open;
*/
      try
        {
            Transaction tx = odmg.newTransaction();
            String classname=newItem.getClass().toString();

            tx.begin();            
            if(classname.compareTo("Dog")==0)
            {
                Dog obj=(Dog)newItem;
                tx.lock(obj, Transaction.WRITE);
            }
            else if(classname.compareTo("Cat")==0)
            {
                Cat obj=(Cat)newItem;
                tx.lock(obj, Transaction.WRITE);
            }
            tx.commit();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw AnimalException.insertError("Something went wrong."); 
        }
}

Is there a better way to do this?
The problems appear when instead of 2 classes I have 23...
