Hi Edwin,
Would love to pose the code, but I don't have the Terracotta source code at
the moment as I only downloaded the binaries. But Terracotta is an open
source project so you can checkout their code base (
http://www.terracotta.org/web/display/orgsite/DownloadCatalog). I have no
idea how they override Vector either :p
Cheers,
Paul
