[DDC-2196] EntityManager can't be extended easily

Sun, 16 Dec 2012 12:58:47 +0000

public static function create($conn, Configuration $config, EventManager $eventManager = null)
{
    // ...
    return new EntityManager($conn, $config, $conn->getEventManager());
}

The EntityManager::create method uses new on the EntityManager class instead of static.

This makes extending that class not practical because we have to rewrite (duplicate) EntityManager::create.

Code could be extendable with:

public static function create($conn, Configuration $config, EventManager $eventManager = null)
{
    // ...
    return new static($conn, $config, $conn->getEventManager());
}
