I am having a base class C with fields X, Y and Z.
C1 extends C and is having an extra field, T.
In the C1 constructor, I do call the super (C) constructor with some hard coded values for the fields X, Y and Z. Then I set T.
Are there any patterns to automatically validate all the fields of C1 by doing something in the C constructor ? So I am trying to push the automatic validation to the base class.
Please note that calling the super constructor should be done before any statement in the C1 constructor. I started with some abstract validate() method, but I am not I am on the right track.
Thanks.
