Description

Given a class hierarchy as:

class BaseClass

{ @Control protected EchoControl _echoControl; }

and

class SubClass {
// no control references
}

the controls annotation processor doesn't generate a SubClassClientInitializer. The result is that any references to _echoControl in the superclass NPE because the control isn't initialized.

Not sure what the solution is yet; there are several possibilities. Will solicit input on dev@.
