| Apr 27, 2016 at 12:16 | comment | added | Ixrec | @vnkotak By providing protected methods that subclasses are expected to override...? If you're saying someone has forbidden you from using something sane like protected methods, unfortunately that's not really a problem we can help with. | |
| Apr 27, 2016 at 11:59 | comment | added | vnkotak | @Ixrec.. I understand your points, but am not getting any other solution.. Exact requirement is that I will be getting some task to be done and corresponding value.. Now every task can be at different level in the hierarchy of the class... So I am not how else should I implement this. :( | |
| Apr 27, 2016 at 11:56 | comment | added | vnkotak | @KilianFoth.. I just thought that's the solution for kind of problem.. Am open for any other solution if you can suggest.. | |
| Apr 27, 2016 at 11:55 | comment | added | Ixrec | Surely "getting subclass information" should be done through methods the subclasses override? Or else you're wildly violating LSP and missing the whole point of a class hierarchy? | |
| Apr 27, 2016 at 11:51 | comment | added | Kilian Foth | I want to use Reflection to keep it generic functionality for future flexibility. That is a very bad reason for using reflection. You will end up happier if you achieve that goal by other means. | |
