Body
This has Factory design pattern written all over it. You can register each Animal class (e.g. Cat, Fish, Dog, Bird, etc.) in their respective classes. See Class Registration - avoiding reflection on <a href="http://www.oodesign.com/factory-pattern.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.oodesign.com/factory-pattern.html</a> You can have an AnimalFactory that keeps a map of ID to class that implements Facotry Method. Then you would register it in each specific implementation of Animal. This way AnimalFactory wouldn't need to change, just each new Animal that is added would need to register the specific factory: <pre><code>public class Dog extends Animal { ... static { AnimalFactory.instance().registerAnimal(ID.DOG, new DogCreator()); } ... } public class DogCreator extends AnimalFactory { //Abstract factory method in AnimalFactory that gets called to return the Animal public Animal createAnimal { return new Dog(); } } </code></pre> <hr> <h2>Begin Edit</h2> You can also have a generic Animal creator that uses reflection to make the new class (assuming each Animal has an empty constructor). This would still require you to register your specific id in each Animal implementation: <pre><code>public class Dog extends Animal { ... static { AnimalFactory.instance().registerAnimal(ID.DOG, Dog.class); } ... } </code></pre> Then AnimalFactory can use reflection to make the instance: <pre><code>public Animal createAnimal(ID id) { return animalMap.get(id).newInstance(); } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
