Override Abstract class to return hardcoded method value

Question

I want overwite CorsUtils abstract class from here https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/cors/reactive/CorsUtils.html. I tried this:

import org.springframework.http.server.reactive.ServerHttpRequest;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.web.cors.reactive.CorsUtils;

@Component
public class CustomPostGlobalFilter extends CorsUtils {

    public static boolean isCorsRequest(ServerHttpRequest request) {
        return false;
    }

    public static boolean isPreFlightRequest(ServerHttpRequest request) {
        return false;
    }

    public static boolean isSameOrigin(ServerHttpRequest request) {
        return false;
    }
}

But looks like this is not the correct way to implement this. Can you guide me what is the proper way to implement this?

Answer 1

You cannot override static methods. You can provide an alternative version in your extending class but the caller controls which method they employ by specifying the class.
