Nope, but you do have to take care to understand that you are overriding the implementation of those parent class methods too.

So do take care to ensure you are not breaking anything that is required for implementation. You may need to call the super() of the original method.

In short, be sure to know what you are doing, however, and document why you are completely overwriting the method.
