Re: Digester and inheritance

[Fernando Esteban Barril Otero]

Try writting a small class to list the properties
of your classes (using the JavaBeans API - PropertyDescriptor, etc.).
Then, you can figure out what could be wrong.

Digester doesn't has limitations of this kind. I have the same
hierarchy and it works fine.

Wouldn't that be a "has-a" relationship?  If I do that, than I would end up
with this (since originally I have many child classes extending from
Component):

public class Component {
    public String name = null;
    public String getName() {
        return this.name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name=name;
    }
}

public class HelperClass1 {
    private final Component C;
    public String getName() {
        return c.getName;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        c.setName(name);
    }
}

public class HelperClass2 {
    private final Component C;
    public String getName() {
        return c.getName;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        c.setName(name);
    }
}

public class HelperClass2 {
    private final Component C;
    public String getName() {
        return c.getName;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        c.setName(name);
    }
}

The reason I'm extending from Component is because these helper classes
"is - a" Component.  They only have slight variations.  Does digester not
handle "is-a" relationships?

ps - Thanks again for taking the time to respond.  I can't stress how much I
appreciate it.
