[Solar-talk] extending app classes

Hi 

Up until now all my solar based apps where extended from Solar_App, had a  
single data model that it called on and preformed basic list/edit/add/delete 
actions, nothing fancy.

However I am trying to create a Vendor_App_Class that as before extends from 
Solar_App but I am able to extend, I think I need to give an example to 
explain.

If for instance if I have Vendor_App_Product app with associated data model 
which is a class that describes a product (obvious) and in true OOP style I 
would like to extend it so I can describe differant products types, 
CdProduct, BookProduct, DvdProduct as apposed to creating a new app class 
with data model for each differant product.

Is this possible in a Solar_App enviroment? if so what is the best way to go 
about it and how would I design a Solar data model to represent this?

Any help would be appreciated.
