OK, I'm a little annoyed here because I find the whole concept of
'final' to be ridiculous.
I would like to subclass Boolean so that I can initialize it (class
method) with a short string (valueOf:"t" instead of valueOf:"f") and
also to return "t" and "f" for toString (or some other method like
toShortString()).
Unfortunately, java.lang.Boolean is marked as final. Is there any
way to get around that?
To give a little background, I would like to have a custom WebObjects
type where I can declare the factory method to create the instance,
and the method to call to get back the string instance. I want to
make it a single character so that I can use a string field with
length=1 instead of length=5 (saving a lot of space).
Oh, and yet another reason I want categories from Objective-C in Java...
Thanks,
Ken
