Calling Overridable Methods from the Constructor

NetBeans will warn you not to call an overridable method from your constructor, and for good reason ...

public class PlayerCharacter implements DailyCycle {

    private static final int MAX_MOVES_REMAINING = 10;
    private static final int NEW_MOVES_PER_DAY = 3;

    private int movesRemaining;

    public PlayerCharacter() {
        newDay(); // WARNING
    }

    @Override
    public void newDay() {
        movesRemaining += NEW_MOVES_PER_DAY;
        if (movesRemaining > MAX_MOVES_REMAINING) {
            movesRemaining = MAX_MOVES_REMAINING;
        }
    }

}

What I Do...

I'm not really sure how other people handle this, but like to make a local version of the method (CTRL-SHIFT-M in NetBeans)...

 

public class PlayerCharacter implements DailyCycle {

    private static final int MAX_MOVES_REMAINING = 10;
    private static final int NEW_MOVES_PER_DAY = 3;

    private int movesRemaining;

    public PlayerCharacter() {
        newDayLocal();
    }

    @Override
    public void newDay() {
        newDayLocal();
    }

    private void newDayLocal() {
        movesRemaining += NEW_MOVES_PER_DAY;
        if (movesRemaining > MAX_MOVES_REMAINING) {
            movesRemaining = MAX_MOVES_REMAINING;
        }
    }

}

This not only solves the warning, but actually solves the problem. The object is no longer allowing subclasses to inject out-of-sequence code into the constructor by overriding a method.

 How do other people handle this? Is there a standard pattern?
