Question

I’d like for a subclass of a certain superclass with certain constructor parameters to load an XML file containing information that I’d then like to pass to the superconstructor. Is this impossible to achieve?

Answer 1

How about using a factory method instead? Maybe something like:

private MyObject(ComplexData data) {     super(data); }  public static MyObject createMyObject(String someParameter) {     ComplexData data = XMLParser.createData(someParameter);     return new MyObject(data);  }
