Hi Tim, Thank you for your response. Yes, I was able to get your simple case to work. Further, I was able to load this:
OpenLayers.Util.extend(OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS.v1.prototype, { foo: "bar" ,blah: function(){ alert(this.foo); } }); And, within the real OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS.v1.handleRead function, I added a call to this.blah() and at runtime, the alert with "bar" appeared. However, when I try to override an existing function I don't seem able to do it. Continuing with my example above, if I removed the this.blah() call that I added in the real OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS.v1.handleRead function (so it's back to its distribution form) and updated my own file as follows: OpenLayers.Util.extend(OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS.v1.prototype, { foo: "bar" ,blah: function(){ alert(this.foo); } ,handleRead: function(response, options) { this.blah(); if(options.callback) { var request = response.priv; if(request.status >= 200 && request.status < 300) { // success response.features = this.parseFeatures(request); response.code = OpenLayers.Protocol.Response.SUCCESS; } else { // failure response.code = OpenLayers.Protocol.Response.FAILURE; } options.callback.call(options.scope, response); }; } }); At runtime, my handleRead is not run and I don't see the alert with "bar" in it. When I step through the OpenLayers.Util.extend function, it sure looks like my handleRead is overwriting the distributed one but at runtime it's definitely not using it. I really don't get what the problem could be here. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/How-to-override-abstract-OpenLayers-Protocol-WFS-v1-tp6534072p6535084.html Sent from the OpenLayers Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list d...@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/openlayers-dev
