My understanding of this language was that Run-time dispatching based
upon type is supposed to be supported in this language. In other
words, i should be able to declared abstract methods in a base class;
then i should be to call these methods in other methods of the base
class, with the assumption that at run-time the flow of control will
be automatically,
dispatched to the appropriate method in a super class, based on
the type of the object (Object.getClass()). Instead, at run-time, i
get:
java.lang.AbstractMethodError minus
Can one of the language designers &/or implementors (like Arthur Van
Hoff or James Gosling) clarify this please?
