RE: [cinjug-users] Calling methods of sibling objects

Off the top of my, I would suggest the Visitor pattern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visitor_pattern).  Make child2 a visitor for Parent’s children then it can act on child1.

Subject: [cinjug-users] Calling methods of sibling objects

 

Hi,

 

Hoping this is not a dumb question, maybe someone call help.

 

The object model for my application contains a parent object (Parent) that has two other objects as properties (child1 and child2).  In child1, there is a method (method1) that I want to call from child2.  However, I am stumped on how to get a handle to child1 or even the parent from within child2 without having to pass a reference to child2 from a method in parent.  Is there a way to call parent.child1.method1() from within parent.child2?

 

Thanks,
