I'm in a situation where I need all my child classes to implement a common abstract method of a parent class...statically. But apparently Java does not allow abstract static methods...
So, what is an alternative design of such implementation in Java? Below is the code that describes the situation I am in:
Parent class
public abstract class ParentFactory {
/**
* This is a factory class that provides static init method
**/
public abstract static void init();
}
Child class
public class ChildFactory extends ParentFactory {
@Override
public static void init() {
// each child factory has own implementation of init
}
}
EDIT
FYI, I am not asking why this is not valid in Java, I realise the concept of a static method, I know why it is not allowed in Java.
Instead I am asking for help with an alternative design pattern regarding my approach above. Thanks!
