How to handle polymorphism with JSF2?

Question

I need to display/edit polymorphic entities.

My abstract class is Person. My concrete classes are PhysicalPerson and MoralP

Answer 1

Another way is to create an abstract method in a base class, which will return you some mark of what instance you have, and implement it in your subclasses, like this:

public abstract class Person {

public abstract boolean isPhysical();

}

public PhysicalPerson extends Person {

public boolean isPhysical() {
     return true;
}

}

and then in jsf:

    
this is a PhysicalPerson.


    
this is a Moral Person.

However the class checking approach is more universal.
