A Collection of javabeans Iterator

[Higgledy Smith]

I in my code I create a collection of Department javabeans. Department class contains an overridden toString() method.

In the Iterator code below, how do I guarantee the toString() used is the overridden Department toString and not the Java provided Object toString?

Collection departmentsList = null;
Logger440.log.error("ListServlet listDept");
departmentsList = listServiceObj.getDepartmentList();

Iterator iterator = departmentsList.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
Object element = iterator.next();
list.addItem(element.toString());
}

It is impossible for it to be anything else. If a class overrides a method, then no other class can call the original version on objects of that class; they can only call the new, overriding version.
