Class ApiVehicleAbstract

java.lang.Object

org.transitime.api.data.ApiVehicleAbstract

Direct Known Subclasses:

ApiVehicle, ApiVehicleDetails

public abstract class ApiVehicleAbstract
extends java.lang.Object

This class exists so that can have multiple subclasses that inherent from each other while still being able to set the propOrder for each class. Specifically, ApiVehicleDetails is supposed to be a subclass of ApiVehicle. But want the vehicle id to be output as the first attribute. But the attributes for the subclass are output first and one can't normally set the propOrder of parent class attributes. One gets an internal error if one tries to do so.

The solution is to use the abstract class ApiVehicleAbstract. Then can implement ApiVehicle and ApiVehicleDetails to inherit from ApiVehicleAbstract and those classes can each set propOrder as desired. Yes, this is rather complicated, but it works.
