Description

« Hide

We have discussed this at the fornax-developer list: http://www.nabble.com/-Cartridges%3A-JavaBasic--Should-methods-definded-in-an-Interface-be-abstract-in-the-AbstractClass--tf3768454s17564.html#a10689228

As a result of this I see that the beste solution is to provide both:

1. Create an abstract method declaration in the abstract implementation class
2. Ommit this; only create a method in the base class

Both strategies were implemented.

You can set a globalwar to the generator: interface_operation_implementation_strategy
Possible values are:

use_abstract_method - generate a abstract method in the abstract implementation class
none - do not generate an abstract method

The default is none.

There are a needed change in the handling:

You can set a globalvar to the generator: interface_operation_implementation_strategy
Possible values are:

use_abstract_method - generate a abstract method in the abstract implementation class
ommit_abstract_method - The abstract method would *not* be generated
none - generate the methods but not mark them as abstract. This is useful if you want generate a special operation body (eg. at Finder-Methods, where you can generate the full method)

The default is none.
