subclass

I have ClassA and ClassB, with ClassA being the superclass.

ClassA uses NodeA, ClassB uses NodeB.

First problem: method parameters. ClassB needs NodeB types, but I can't cast from the subclass to the superclass. That means I can't set properties which are unique to NodeB's.

Second problem: When I need to add nodes toClassB, I have to instantiate a new NodeB. But, I can't do this in the superclass, so I'd have to rewrite the insertion to use NodeB.

Is there a way around it or am I gonna have to rewrite the whole thing?
