java - Good design for accessing subclass methods in a vector of abstract class objects -

-

i using vector store objects of anabstractclass superclass. abstract class contains 2 non-constructor methods:

public final string getname() {     return name; }  public abstract int getcost();

within each subclass created getcost method. within anotherclass have vector of abstract class objects. in method of anotherclass using string contains name, cost, , other data types specific each of multiple subclasses. accessing vector retrieve name , cost fine.

however, when try access other fields (ie: getcolor or getsize specific each subclass run following compile error: 

error: cannot find symbol   symbol:   method <mysubclassmethod>()   location: class <myabstractclass>

how can efficiently design solution dilemma?

to access methods specific subclass need cast subclass.

example:

subclass foo = (subclass) myanabstractclassinstance;

if don't know subclass have, can type check using instanceof

example

// subclass implements size , color, superclass not if (foo instanceof subclass) {     subclass foobar = (subclass) foo;     int size = foobar.size();     string color = foobar.color(); }

alternative solutions: 1. make subclasses provide methods (even if nothing) 2. make subclasses provide method lets know methods support

node.js - Why do I get "SOCKS connection failed. Connection not allowed by ruleset" for some .onion sites? -

-
i'm experimenting node , socks5-https-client . reason, tor hidden service ( .onion ) sites return connection error. for example, connecting duckduckgo ( 3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion ) works , returns html. however, connecting pirate bay ( uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion ) or torch ( xmh57jrzrnw6insl.onion ) returns... error: socks connection failed. connection not allowed ruleset. what error mean? how can avoid it? here's code reproduce it: var shttps = require('socks5-https-client'); shttps.get({ hostname: '3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion', path: '', sockshost: '127.0.0.1', socksport: 9150, rejectunauthorized: false }, function(res) { res.setencoding('utf8'); res.on('readable', function() { console.log(res.read()); // log response console. }); }); the error seems caused 0x02 value in field 2 of server response. in summary the servers you're failing access don't support ...

Entity Framework - The property cannot be configured as a navigation property -

-
i'm defining 2 entities following, strange behavior occurring: [table("clienttypes", schema="dbo")] public clienttype { [key] public int id { get; set; } public string name { get; set; } } [table("clients", schema="dbo")] public client { [key] public long id { get; set; } [foreignkey("clienttypeid")] public int clienttypeid { get; set; } public virtual clienttype clienttype { get; set; } } i'm getting clienttypeid property filled value, clienttype object filled nothing. can me this? thank all! the foreignkey attribute have on wrong property. the annotation may placed on foreign key property , specify associated navigation property name, or placed on navigation property , specify associated foreign key name. - source [foreignkey("clienttypeid")] should decorate public virtual clienttype clienttype instead, or change [foreignkey("clienttype...
