--------------------------------------
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".
