Scala: How to extend a third party class with custom attributes -

i need extend external class attribute... , since dynamic not applied in case, i've no other option create wrapper this:

class mywrapper(val otherclass: otherclass, val myattribute: int) {    ... }  val mywrapper = new mywrapper(new otherclass, 1) 

then, invoke otherclass members this:

mywrapper.otherclass.foo 

is there trick have call this?

mywrapper.foo 

i've tried apply... doesn't work:

class mywrapper(val otherclass: otherclass, val myattribute: int) {    def apply = otherclass } 

furthermore cannot extend otherclass this...

class mywrapper(val myattribute: int) extends otherclass {    ... } 

... since need use factory class deserializes byte array.

you can use pimp library pattern (i believe trying downplay name though). basically, can use implicits accomplish this. in fact, can use implicit class of 2.10

object pimper{   implicit class wrapperclass(wrapped: otherclass){     def additionalstuff....   } }  import pimper._ new otherclass().additionalstuff 

there lot on implicits, let research rest on own :)
