I redefined 'new' for Parent, not for Child, so I expected the 'new' for Child to conform with the two arguments taken from the (Child) initialize method. I agree there normally is not much reason to redefine the 'new' method, but in this case I am importing a Java Class which I have no chance to change at source level. -- Cees Zeelenberg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
