Patrice Collardez created CMIS-936: -------------------------------------- Summary: The public API should be declared virtual Key: CMIS-936 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CMIS-936 Project: Chemistry Issue Type: Improvement Components: dotcmis Affects Versions: DotCMIS 0.6, DotCMIS 0.7 Environment: Windows 7, DotNet 3.5 Reporter: Patrice Collardez
The public API of DotCMIS is not completely declared virtual, and it prevents the polymorphism to work as expected, especially when creating a new ObjectFactory and specialized objects. Long explanation: With Java, every method is implicitly declared virtual, therefore overriding a method in a subclass is as simple as a redeclaration and the polymorphism works as intended whatever the cast of the subclass to any of its parent class or interface. With C#, every method is not declared virtual, therefore redeclaring a method in a subclass does not make the polymorphism works: the first declaration of the method is used considering the cast level in the inheritance graph. In order to have the same behavior with C# as the one we have with Java, every method should be declared "virtual" and every redeclaration should be declared "override". -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
