Hi all,

I've run into something that _seems_ to work, but just seems "wrong" and I don't see how to do it "right".

I have the following inheritance structure in my model:

LotCode (NOT abstract)
ManufacturedBatch extends LotCode.

When I call awakeFromInsertion on the superclass I do it as follows :

public void awakeFromInsertion(EOEditingContext ec) {
        super.awakeFromInsertion(ec);
        if (lotCodeType() == null) {
                setLotCodeType(1);
        }
}

But when I call awakeFromInsertion on the subclass I have to do this:

public void awakeFromInsertion(EOEditingContext ec) {
        super.awakeFromInsertion(ec);
        if (lotCodeType() == null || lotCodeType.equals(1)) {
                setLotCodeType(1);
        }
}

I've never used a concrete superclass but how about:

Superclass:

public void awakeFromInsertion(EOEditingContext ec) {
        super.awakeFromInsertion(ec);
        if (lotCodeType() == null) setLotCodeType(1);
}

Subclass:

public void awakeFromInsertion(EOEditingContext ec) {
        if (lotCodeType() == null) setLotCodeType(2);
        super.awakeFromInsertion(ec);
}

I thought about this, but since it is also an "EO-No-No" to do _anything_ before calling awakeFromInsertion I didn't want to do anything before inserting the super.
