    Inheritance in Forge

    johnsylora

      Hello Forge users,

       

      What is the best way to set up inheritance in Forge?

       

      I was able to set it up using the Forge command:

       

      $ java new-class 'public class TestClass2 extends TestClass {}' --package ~.model

       

      Is this the best way? Thank you.

          That's probably a good way to do it. We don't really do much with inheritance right now. How would you like to use inheritance that isn't currently supported?

            Hi Lincoln,

             

            I'm planning to use inheritance since I have a base class that passes on some properties to the descendant classes which have their own unique properties in addition to the base class parent properties. I use Forge to write the classes. Since Forge doesn't have a specific command for inheritance, I guess I'll have to put the annotations like @Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED) after I make the class. Thanks for the input..
