May I ask what is requiring the use of BaseBasicBolt? [http://www.cisco.com/web/europe/images/email/signature/est2014/logo_06.png?ct=1398192119726]

I thought that it was different from IRichBolt, but I misread inheritance hierarchy when I was looking at the code today. So this makes it even more of a potential problem as it doesn't really have a clean solution.

If possible, sticking to using the “Rich” components will solve these sorts of issues.

Obviously any bolt must implement IBolt and IComponent, but I would like to create a variable that can contain an instance of either IRichBolt or BaseBasicBolt and have access to all of the methods in IBolt and IComponent. The only way I can think of to do this is to store the Bolt object in an IBolt variable and then case to IComponent as necessary. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks, Nathan
