problem with Legend when subclassing esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer

Question

I created a subclass of ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayerEx using the dojo.declare() method.  Everything works great but when I add it to the Legend, the Legend will not recognize it.  Any thoughts on a work around?

Thanks.

A lot of it has to do with representing the class in object form for a table of contents.  I worked around it by adding to esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer.prototype, although this is probably not the best solution.

Thanks.

I understand, but at v2.4, you're limited to the classes I listed above. What are you doing in your custom class?

Thanks Derek.

The problem is that even though a subclass of ArcGISDynamicServiceLayer is still an instanceof ArcGISDynamicServiceLayer, the Legend will not recognize it.  This does not make sense because the subclass will implement all of the same behaviors, etc.
