Ittay Dror commented on PAXWICKET-28: ------------------------------------- by not making it final, you allow me to work around missing features / bugs without needing to wait for another release (which may take long given that most of the time a release contains new features and bug fixes). currently, because of this missing feature, i had to resolve to much more bad hacking, making *my* code harder to maintain. i think a framework should try to make my life easier, not harder. indeed, subclassing may mean some things will break as the framework changes. ok, so put a loud warning on the class. but since not all subclassing will break the framework and since it is my responsibility, why not let me? finally, wicket is the only framework i know that prohibits subclassing. other frameworks usually allow it with the understanding of the users that subclassing creates strong dependency on the code of the framework and can break with new releases. > PaxWicketApplicationFactory should not be final > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: PAXWICKET-28 > URL: http://issues.ops4j.org/browse/PAXWICKET-28 > Project: Pax Wicket > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ittay Dror > Assignee: Niclas Hedhman > Fix For: 0.5.1 > > > in particulary, i want to inherit from it and add a before rendering > listener, but i can't since it is final -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.ops4j.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira _______________________________________________ general mailing list general@lists.ops4j.org http://lists.ops4j.org/mailman/listinfo/general
