[Opengeoscience-developers] Protected access in javascript

[Aashish Chaudhary]

Hi Ben,

I looked at it earlier. Although its kind of good its not perfect (none of
the others too). The problem is that

1. You should be checking if the call to constructor is coming from a
derived class indeed

2. The API gets clunky (the constructor I guess). Although its not bad.

Although I was thinking of something similar but instead in the constructor
we have this dedicated method that you need to call and there we check if
its coming from one of its own,
and attach its protected member variables. This method can be called right
after we instantiate the base class members.
