Hi

To conclude,XI is an Integration Technology whose underlying language is XML which does not support Inheritance.

Hi,

Since XI is not a programming tool it does not support Inheritance.... since technically inheritance is related to programming language....

But it has some of the properties of inheritance in it.....

Hi

I understand...but, how this question will be answered?

XI supports inheritance .....what does it mean?

Hi,

The general concept of inheritance is one object/class inherit the properties of another object/class.....

In XI we term all the Message type, Data Type as a object....

We are only creating an Data type and we use the same Data Type for creating an Message Type so actually the Message type is Inheriting the properies of Data type....

Is ur question answered...!!

Hi

No you cannot say XI supports Inheritance because the concepts on which XI works are entirely different from that of a programming language.Inheritance is a concept of Object Oriented Methodology which is supported by Object Oriented programming languages.

Hi

Java and XI are different.Java is a programming language and XI is an Integration tool.In XI,you will not work upon classes.But you will work on components like Integration Repository and Integration Directory.Whatever you create here can be treated as Objects.

Hi

When you say XI,its an integration tool, just like any other EAI tools.Inheritance is an Object Oriented concept which is supported by languages.Links provided above are for ABAP language.If you want to see why ABAP does not support any type of Inheritance,you can have a look at these links.

Hi Abhishek,

Thanks for your replies..

I have some doubts here...

What is multi level inheritance?

So, you mean to say does XI objects are ABAP Objects?(created at IR level) am I wrong to say?

I am very new to XI...but, i have java background..

Regards,

YRaj.

HI YRaj,

Multi level inheritance - inheriting features from class A to class B and from class B to class C.

Here class A is super class, B is intermediate class, C is child class.

in other way, Class A --> Class B --> Class C

>>does XI objects are ABAP Objects?

not exactly, but u can use few ABAP objects in XI accorrding to the requirement.
