  Yes, that's the right way of doing it. This is one thing where Java
*forces* you to make good code: There is no void*, but you must use
inheritance instead in order to achieve this.

  Also, I'm not sure if the ISO-C++ standard guarantees that a
pointer-to-class will always have the same size as void*.
  If the standard does not guarantee this, then theoretically storing
a pointer-to-class into a void* may lead to non-portable code (even though
every single C++ compiler I know uses regular pointers for classes as well,
so this is just very theoretical).
