Ricardo,

Try defining your loginPageClass() like this:

public Class<? extends MPVLoginPage> loginPageClass() {
  ...
}

and override accordingly.  Then Java will allow you to return any subclass of MPVLoginPage.

Subject: Generics question



I'm changing my code to use pageWithName(Foo.class) instead of pageWithName("Foo") through out the code.

Then I used to have a method that return the name of the login page which I changed to return the class of the login page.  But then if an application wants to override that I end up with stuff like this:

    public Class<MPVLoginPage> loginPageClass() {
        return PPPLoginPage.class;
    }

Here PPPLoginPage is a subclass of MPVLoginPage and I thought this would be allowed by java but I'm getting an error and I have not mastered generics that well yet.  ;-)

Is there a better way to do this?

:-)
