The Call Super Anti-pattern
What is the Call Super Anti-pattern
The Call Super anti-pattern shows up occasionally in object oriented code.
Any time an inherited class overrides a method and is required to call super() first, that is a case of this anti-pattern. It is not a good idea to require something else being called first.
Examples
public class TestCase
public void setup() {
doStuff();
}
public class TestCaseOne extends TestCase
public void handle() {
super.setup();
setupForTCOne();
}
