Question

Heres the situation. Component B extends component A and overrides the init method to accept a different parameter. A also has a create method that calls init.

If i have an instance of B and i call create, its calling the wrong init – it calls init in B, where i need it to call init in A.

I dont want to call super.init() as there may not always be a super. Is there any way to specify to call the init in the parent component?

Answer 1

I solved this by extending the create method to call super.create and super.init. theres still a call to the child init that fails, but overall it works.

I would still prefer a solution that works on the parent init without having to override the create.
