Java avoid wrapper methods in Decorator -

if want add new behaviour existing class in java can subclass or use decorator pattern. if using decorator pattern end having implement methods in interface , call through decorated object:

class decoratedlist<t> extends list<t> {     list<t> baselist;     int size() {         return baselist.size();     }     //..like method above, every method on list..      //the added behaviour     t secondthing() {         return baselist.get(1);     } } 

whereas subclassing don't need boilerplate method passing.

class decoratedlist<t> extends arraylist<t> {     //the added behaviour     t secondthing() {         return list.get(1);     } } 

the problem this can used need arraylist, , have access construction of arraylist (i know in example copy elements arraylist decoratedlist create yourself, works lists, , wouldn't suitable).

is there method can add class if method not found on decoratedlist class, forward baselist, in order avoid having bunch of 1 liner methods don't new:

class decoratedlist<t> extends list<t> {     list<t> baselist;      //pseudocode     methodnotfound(method, arguments) {         method.invokeon(baselist, arguments);     }      //the added behaviour     t secondthing() {         return baselist.get(1);     } }
