Tag: anonymous classes

[Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes] In my previous post on Anonymous Classes I erroneously referred to them as “dynamic objects” (thanks to commentors for pulling me up on that). Dynamic objects are something else entirely (although what precisely they might mean can vary on different platforms and in different languages). I have now corrected that post on this point, and also on another point that Marc Hoffman called me out on (again, thanks for that). And so the time has now come to expose the true identity of these so called “Anonymous Classes”.

[Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes] There is another use case for anonymous classes, even simpler than that of providing implementations of interfaces: Anonymous POCO’s.
