Factory method subclassing cayenne data objects

[hans]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a factory method pattern based on a cayenne data 
object. 

Say for example i have a class (cayenne based) called Artist, i want to make a 
subclass of Artist, say ExpertArtist that implements some specific behavior.

Actually i have a big static Factory class that give me the all objects, i have 
a method like this:

        public static Artist getArtist(String id) {

                if (id == null || id.equals(""))
                        return null;

                DataContext context = DataContext.getThreadDataContext();

                Artist object = (Artist) DataObjectUtils.objectForPK(
                                context, Artist.class, Integer.parseInt(id));
                return object;
        } 

Obviously i can declare ExpertArtist as an subclass of Artist.

package xxx.xxx;

public class EspertArtist extends Artist {      
    public String getName() {
        return super.getName() + " i'am expert !!";
    }
}

I've tried to instantiate an ExpertArtist, just modifying the Factory method, 
with no results. I don't know how to bouild the parent class calling super or 
something...

Obviously these are not the real classes, the actual classes are really big and 
this solution: just modifying the factory method is the best for me.


Thanks
Hans
