Abstract class extending another abstract class...

[David La Motta]

Hi all... as I continue to learn about GWT-Exporter, I've hit another problem:

public abstract ChildAbstractClass extends ParentAbstractClass implements Exportable {

   public ChildAbstractClass() {

   }

   ...

}

public abstract ParentAbstractClass {

   // no zero-arg constructor

   ...

   public static final class ParentAbstractJSO extends JavaScriptObject {

      ...

   }

}

So I have a child abstract class that extends another abstract class, as you can see.  ParentAbstractClass is from the project currently being extended, per the "best practices" on how to export a GWT project.  ParentAbstractClass is a JSO wrapper, as you can see.

Problem is, when I compile, I get:

[ERROR] Line 17: Referencing method 'lienzo.client.core.types.ChildAbstractClassExporterImpl.___create()': unable to resolve method

I don't really want to implement the ExportOverlay mechanism, because of the wrapped JSO (ParentAbstractJSO)--I really don't know how I would go about that, so I opted for not using ExportOverlay. I read in the documentation that abstract classes should be able to be exported, so I am a bit curious to know what could be causing the above scenario to fail.  The child class extends the parent, and it includes a zero-arg constructor.  All annotations are set to export everything (all=true) in the parent class, too.

Thanks for the help, beforehand.

Should be noted that with 2.4 it's also failing.

Any ideas, Manolo?
