My understanding is that you can't derive a new class from this class *and* override any of the 'final' members. That is, you can't do this sort of thing ... class Field { char[] m_name; char[] m_value; final char[] name() { return m_name; } final char[] value() { return m_value; } } class SField : Field { char[] mx_name; char[] mx_value; char[] name() // Fails. { return mx_name; } } -- Derek Melbourne, Australia 6/06/2005 12:02:05 PM | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
