I'm currently working on inheritance in Java. I would like to discuss the following case with you.
In my example, I have numerous animal and enclosure classes. All animals are derived from BaseAnimal. All enclosure are derived from BaseEnclosure. Both base classes provide various concrete methods - but also some abstract methods.
Now, when implementing a CatEnclosure, I want to specify that when CatEnclosure.resettleTo(Enclosure) is called, only one Cat Enclosure can be passed. In my current code, a cat could also be placed with a dog.
To my understanding, I would have to define the class of the future (derived) class when creating the abstract method resettleTo in the BaseEnclosure class.
My idea was to use a second generic. So BaseEnclosure becomes BaseEnclosure <E, A>. But now I would also have to specify that E must be derived from BaseEnclosure. In addition, of course, A should also be of the BaseAnimal type.
So I get: BaseEnclosure <E extends BaseEnclosure, A extends BaseAnimal>
My IDE now complains that BaseEnclosure and BaseAnimal are raw types. If I write BaseEnclosure <E extends BaseEnclosure , A extends BaseAnimal <?,? >>, it works. However, I don't know whether all of this makes sense in terms of design.
I look forward to your suggestions.
Enclosed you get the example code.
public abstract class BaseAnimal<E> {
protected E enclosure;
public void setEnclosure(E enclosure) {
this.enclosure = enclosure;
}
public E getEnclosure() {
return enclosure;
}
public abstract String getNoise();
}
public abstract class BaseEnclosure<A> {
protected List<A> animals = new ArrayList<A>();
// some methods...
public List<A> getAnimals() {
return animals;
}
public abstract void resettleTo(BaseEnclosure other);
}
public class Cat extends BaseAnimal<CatEnclosure> {
@Override
public String getNoise() {
return "miiiaaauu";
}
}
public class CatEnclosure extends BaseEnclosure<Cat>{
@Override
public void resettleTo(BaseEnclosure other) {
// hm...
}
}
public class Dog extends BaseAnimal<DogEnclosure> {
@Override
public String getNoise() {
return "wuff";
}
}
public class DogEnclosure extends BaseEnclosure<Dog>{
// some methods...
@Override
public void resettleTo(BaseEnclosure other) {
// hm...
}
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DogEnclosure doghouse = new DogEnclosure();
Dog dog = new Dog();
// later: JPA
doghouse.getAnimals().add(dog);
dog.setEnclosure(doghouse);
CatEnclosure catbox = new CatEnclosure();
Cat cat = new Cat();
// later: JPA
catbox.getAnimals().add(cat);
cat.setEnclosure(catbox);
// OHOHOH!!!
doghouse.resettleTo(catbox);
}
}
