Maybe so, but regardless of how the type checking is done, I think we ought to be able to use delegation. With autodelegation, all the additional methods that might be added to Servlet etc. in the future are still available to unless specifically overridden by the delegating servlet. Delegation is a superset of inheritance, and if it isn't allowed, we all lose a rather important mechanism for managing all the issues that come with just using inheritance to structure code. I'm not advocating against inheritance. What I am advocating is that the type check needs to be able to be turned off, or made a bit more intelligent. ...Edmund. _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
