Which is the best way to create a child given a parent with data? Would it be ok to have a method with all parents values on the child class as:
public class Child extends Person {
public Child(Parent p) {
this.setParentField1(p.getParentField1());
this.setParentField2(p.getParentField2());
this.setParentField3(p.getParentField3());
// other parent fields.
}
}
to copy parent data ti child object?
Child child = new Child(p);
I would recommend creating a constructor in the parent class that accepts an object of type Parent
.
public class Child extends Parent {
public Child(Parent p) {
super(p);
}
}
public class Parent {
public Parent(Parent p){
//set fields here
}
}
