Inheritance

[rhart]

Does anyone else think that it might be useful to be able to specify whether a class is abstract and the JPA inheritance strategy to use when using the "new persistent class jpa" command? And maybe what class it extends or interfaces it implements?

[Ben Alex]

The inheritance and abstract support is already present, as per the clinic.roo sample:

new persistent class jpa -name ~.domain.AbstractPerson -abstract
new persistent class jpa -name ~.domain.Vet -extends ~.domain.AbstractPerson -testAutomatically

Extras like specifying an interface you wish to implement should really be done within an IDE/text editor. This is because Roo wouldn't be able to implement the interface automatically.

Ahhh brilliant I missed that! Doh!
