Message: [QUOTE="chris brat, post: 1549016"] This seems to be a very complicated way to add objects to a list. Why not do this // create a list - standard Java utils List<MyBase> myCol = new ArrayList(); // can be any impl of List interface. // create the objects you need MyBase obj1 = new MyChildA(); MyBase obj2 = new MyChildB(); // add to the list myCol.add(obj1); myCol.add(obj2); // retrieve the objects you need - could be either MyChildA or MyChildB instance MyBase retrieved = myCol.get(1); // work on the retrieved object Why do you want to extend AbstractList ? What functionality are you wanting to add? Chris [/QUOTE]
