Access super.super.method()!?

I know this is strange but I need to access the method of my super, super class.
Ex:
class A{
     public foo(){}
class B extends A{
     public foo(){}
class C extends B{
     public foo(){
     //execute foo() of A
}I do not have access to the source code of A and B, they are third party applications and can not be changed. But, in my case B.foo() is doing too much. All I have to do is call the A.foo() from C.foo() and I�ll be OK.
I am not sure if Java can call super parent methods of the current instance.
I tried using reflection but I do not think I did it correctly.

You can't do it.
And if you think you need to, you almost certainly need to adjust your design.

Is there any way to access an overridden method of super class?

class Animals
void makeNoice(){System.out.println("General noice");}
class Dog extends Animals
void makeNoice(){System.out.println("bark");}
};Is there any way to access the makeNoice() of Animals class from a Dog object
Dog dog = new Dog();
Animal animaldog = dog;
animaldog.makeNoice(); // will always calls Dog's makeNoice() ie the overriden method.
Is there a way to access the Animals makeNoice() method ? by using cast or super etc?
Or it is not possible at all?

Now another question coming in my mind.
Whether any way to access a method which belong to super class's super class without using any method of class B,
like super.super.fn() ??Isn't this just the same question again? And won't you again just "solve" it by writing some invokeSuperSuperMethod or other? This flawed design is quickly getting out of hand, isn't it? The question isn't "How can I invoke an arbitrarily deep superclass' method?" but more "Why do I need to invoke a method belonging to a concrete type at all?". If you need to do that, chances are you've misused inheritance.
To use your initial sample code, in what circumstance would you require that a Dog make anything other than a Dog noise? It makes no sense. Point is, you have an Animal abstraction, and can call makeNoise on any instance of any subclass, and it will make the appropriate noise. By trying to use trickery to force other noises, you're doing something unnatural, and you're also depending on actual specific concrete subclasses. If you're going to go to specific classes and ask them to make their noise, what use is the inheritance? What use it the polymorphism?

Calling the super class method from the subclass

Hi all,
I have a question about inheritence and redefinition of methods. Is it possible to call the superclass implementation of a method which is redefined in the subclass in another method of the subclass?There are possbilities like creation of an explicit super class instance or delegating the super class method implementation to another method which is also protected etc. What i mean is, is there a direct way of calling it?We have ,me, as the reference for the instance we have(which is the subclass instance in this case), is there also a way of pointing the superclass implementation(with super we can reference in the subclass redefinition, my question is if we have such a parameter in other methods of the subclass too)
Thanks in advance
Sukru

Hi,
The super reference can only be used in redefined methods to call superclass implementation . So probably what you can do is use upcasting and access the required superclass implementation. I can think of only this way...;-)
Ex data lr_super type ref to cl_superclass
lr_super = lr_subclass.
lr_super->method().

Overiding super class method to an abstract method

public class Super
public void doSomethingUseful()
public abstract class Sub extends Super
public abstract void doSomethingUseful();
What is the OO principle behind this?
When do we need to override a super class method in subclass as an abstract?

Lets first look at a simple design pattern called "Template Method".
public abstract class Library
private void collectBooks()
// collect books here
private void putBookInShelf()
// put books in shelf here
// abstract method sortBooks()
public abstract void sortBooks();
public void processBooks()
collectBooks();
sortBooks();
putBooksInShelf();
this class is an abstract class giving an abstract method called "sortBooks()", what is it useful for? We can make a subclass and implement sortBooks() to sort the books as we want (title wise, author wise, date wise, publisher wise) and then simply call processBooks() to process them.
One Sub class may look like:
public class MyLibrary extends Library
public void sortBooks()
// sort books by title b/c I like them sorted out by title
Another sub-class may look like
public class HisLibrary extends Library
public void sortBooks()
// sort books by Author, b/c he likes his books sorted out by author
Now client will say:
public static void main(String str[])
MyLibrary mylib=new MyLibrary();
mylib.processBooks(); // books will be processed by sorting them title wise
HisLibrary hislib=new HisLibrary();
hislib.processBooks(); // books will be processed by sorting them author wise
So in Library class, method "sortBooks()" was a template method allowing subclasses to sort the books as they want while all other functionality was implemented by Library class itself.
Now if we go back to your example, a method which is concrete in super class that you converted into an abstract method in sub class ( doSomethingUseful() ) is now a template method, which alows the sub classes of this subclass to do something useful what they think is useful or in other words you are allowing subclasses of this subclass to implement this template method as they want by using their own algorithm.
Now why whould you do that? answer is that you don't have access to the code of super class, otherwise you must have made this method abstract in super class in the first place.
Note that the code may not compile, I tried to come up with an exmple and did not pay attention to compiler demands.
I think I cleared my point, It was tough to explain though.
Good Luck.

Calling a super.ssuper.method but your super is a abstract class.

Dear guys,
Is that possible to invoke your super's super's method but your super is a abstract class?
like:
class GO { public void draw() { } }
abstract class GORunner extends GO {}
class GOCounter extends GORunner {
public void draw() {
super.super.draw();
I want to do this because I would like to take advantages of the abstract as an layer to achieve some polymorphism programming Therefore, in the later stage of the programming some code may only refer to GORunner but actually it is holding a GOCounter object.
Thank!!

BTW you don't need to write this
public void draw() {
super.draw();
}It works but its basically the same as not having it at all.

Is it possible to OVERLOAD a super-class method in a sub-class?

Hi all,
I have a query that
Is it possible to OVERLOAD a super-class method in a sub-class?
If it is possible, please give me an example.
Thanks,
Hari

Hi,
Is the method int Display(int a){} overloading
the super-class's void Display() method? If
possible, please clarify this and how it would be
method overloading?
hanks,
Hari
Hi Hari,
Yes, it is possible. Look at this piece of code:
class Senior
     void Display()
          System.out.println("Super class method");
class Junior extends Senior
     int Display(int a)
          System.out.println("Subclass method: "+a);
          return(a+10);
     }> }
class example
     public static void main(String args[])
          Junior j = new Junior();
          j.Display();
System.out.println("Subclass method
od "+j.Display(5));
Is this what you were asking? Hope this helped.Hi,
I guess you guys are confused here...
Overloading is achieved by methods in the same class...
Overriding is across a superclass subclass methds.

Can we chagne Super class method parameters in Sub class

Hi,
I created a super class. In that class i created a method. That method is having 4 input parameters and 4 export parameters.
I created a sub class for that super class. I need to use only 2 input parameters in this class rather than 4 parameters. I want to delete 2 Input parameters in the sub class of the super class method. Is it possible.
If possible. can we give an simple code or pseudo code?
regards,
krishna

Hi,
I think you can not.
Because, only public attributes can be inherited and they will remain public in the subclass.

Call super- super- method( )?

I have a class CL_LION that inherits from CL_CAT which inherits from CL_ANIMAL.
In CL_ANIMAL, I have a method shout( ), which is overwritten in each of the children.
Now, I want to call super->super->shout() from CL_LION (which means I want to skip the shout() of CL_CAT and directly call shout() of CL_ANIMAL.
The syntax "super->super->shout() does not work.
Is there another way to do this?

How to pass importing parameter of super class method to subclass method?

hi all,
i have defined a class
CLASS CUST_REPORT DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS:DATA_RETRIVE IMPORTING CUSTID_LOW TYPE ZCUSTOMER-ZCUSTID
                                   CUSTID_HIGH TYPE ZCUSTOMER-ZCUSTID.
    DATA:IT_CUST TYPE TABLE OF ZCUSTOMER,
         WA_CUST TYPE ZCUSTOMER.
ENDCLASS.                    "cust_report DEFINITION
The method DATA_RETRIVE   in this class has two importing parameters named CUSTID_LOW   and CUSTID_HIGH.
then i have defined subclas of this clas.
LASS CUST_ORD DEFINITION INHERITING FROM CUST_REPORT.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    DATA:IT_ORD TYPE TABLE OF ZORDER.
    METHODS:DATA_RETRIVE REDEFINITION,
           DISPLAY.
ENDCLASS.                    "cust_ord DEFINITION
Method DATA_RETRIVE   is redefined.
So how to pass importing parameteres of super class method to sub class method with the same name.
Thanks and Regards,
Arpita

Hi,
I tried like this.
METHOD DATA_RETRIVE.
CALL METHOD SUPER->DATA_RETRIVE
      EXPORTING
        CUSTID_LOW = I_CUSTLOW
        CUSTID_HIGH = I_CUSTHIGH.
ENDMETHOD.
But parameters I_CUSTLOW and I_CUSTHIGH are not getting values after call to method.
Thanks and Regards,

Super.super.method()

super.super.method()
Why does this not work?
When I searched this on google, the people in the thread said this was a result of bad OO design. But in the following case I don't think that it is:
Here is a small version of the tree:
-Unit
---->Ship
--------->Fighter
--------->Droid
---->Building
--------->Power Station
What I'm focused on here is the getImage() method. For the Unit class, it looks like this:
public Image getImage(){
return myImage;
}For the Ship class, the image should be rotated to the ship's rotation:
public Image getImage(){
rotate(myImage);
retuern myImage;
}Now, a Droid is in all ways a ship except that I don't want its image to rotate, so I want to call: return super.super.getImage();I know several workarounds:
1. Have "boolean rotateImage" in the Ship class
2. Have "if (this instanceof Droid) return super.getImage(); //in ship class
But to me, super.super.getImage() seems like the best way, because it allows the Droid class to take the action and it also reduces the clutter in the large Ship class.
Thanks

//this calls the Droid's getImage() instead of the Unit's
Well, yeah, this cause a problem...
Okay, getImage in getNonrotatedImage is dynamically dispatched -- It will call Droid.getImage, which of course, calls Unit.getNonrotatedImage, which again calls Droid.getImage, which...
you get the point.
Look, if you want to put getNonrotatedImage in the Unit class, it needs to call a statically dispatched (i.e. private or final) method of Unit, or at the very least, not one that is overriden in Droid.
Refactor the code in getImage into a private method getImage, and have both getImage and getNonrotatedImage call getImage, because _getImage will be statically dispatched.
OR
Move getNonrotatedImage to the Ship class, and have it call super.getImage (which, by the way, is guaranteed to be statically dispatched).

ALV - access to protected method

Hello,
I have a object from class "CL_GUI_ALV_GRID" and want to change the protected attribute "EVT_DELAYED_CHANGE_SELECTION Constant Protected" with the method
 CALL METHOD alv_grid->SET_DELAY_CHANGE_SELECTION
 EXPORTING
 time = lv_delay.
How can I access this protected attribute?
Thanks in advance,
Holger

This will do what you want
Trick is to define a sub class inheriting the super class where the protected attributes and methods exist in - then you can access the protected methods and attributes.
If you do this don't forget to call the SUPER CONSTRUCTOR (of the class you are inheriting from) in your constructor method. Code example shown below.
Here I want the original and modified table of an alv grid but you can adapt this code to whatever you need.
Hope it helps.

Access of undefined method/property through reference with a static type Class

I get the following error: (it's not word for word but you get the idea)
Error: Access of undefined method getStatus through reference with a static type Class.
Here's what's happening in the code. I'm trying to create a User class that is instantiated at the start of my app. I want the User class to have properties like mainStatus, with helper methods like setStatus etc. Pretty simple.
so on my HardDisk I have my flash_working folder with all my flash projects. I created my class file/package under the directory com.mypackage
package com.mypackage
    import flash.display.*;
    public class User extends Sprite
        public var mainStatus:int;
        public function User()
            trace("User Created!");
            mainStatus = 0;
        public function setStatus(status:int):void
         mainStatus = status;
    public function getStatus():int
        return mainStatus;
Ok, so far so good.
now I created a new .fla file under the root of /flash_working/. The class file is in /com/mypackage/User.as
in my .fla file I have:
import com.mypackage.User;
var myUser:User = new User();
var i = User.getStatus();
trace(i);
That's all the code I have. Could someone please explain why it's giving me that error?
If I try to access the public var mainStatus through user.mainStatus that gives a similar error saying:
Error: Access of undefined property mainStatus through reference with a static type Class.
Thanks for any help!

the public getStatus() function that you created needs to be referred to through an instance of the class.
So:
import com.mypackage.User;
var myUser:User = new User();
var i = myUser.getStatus();
trace(i);
Also, an aside. You can create a getter/setter for status, to avoid having to do the function as such.
package com.mypackage
    import flash.display.*;
    public class User extends Sprite
        public var mainStatus:int;
        public function get status():int
            return mainStatus;
        public function set status(value:int):void
             mainStatus = value as int;
          public function User()
            trace("User Created!");
            mainStatus = 0;
And then, you can call it as:
import com.mypackage.User;
var myUser:User = new User();
trace(myUser.status);
EDIT
I just noticed that you made the variable public as well, which means you can access it without getter/setter or function.
import com.mypackage.User;
var myUser:User = new User();
trace(myUser.mainStatus);

BPM Scenario : " Error accessing table SXMS_AS_STATUS method: INSERT"

Hi all,
Webservice --> XI -->BW .
BPM has been used to send to send the response back.
BPM :
start ->Receive(Request)> Transformation(Responsemap)>Send(SendtoR/3)->Send(Send Response) ---> stop.
We are getting the error as " The error is <SAP:Stack>Error accessing table SXMS_AS_STATUS method: INSERT</SAP:Stack>
There are some messages that Webservice sent and XI received them but this error occured during some process in XI. and this is causing some discrepancy in the data sent and received.
Any idea what might be the problem ? Is there anything which I need to change in the parameters to rectify this error?
