Inheritence without overriding constructor??

hi every body
my question is how to inherit from class without writing the constructor, even i dont want to use super keyword
for example:
public class MyText extends JTextField
public void setText(String txt)
}

If the super class has a default constructor (public with no arguments) than you don't need to write a constructor in the derived class in this case an implicit default constructor will be used in all other cases you have to provide a constructor.

  • Is it possible to override constructor and instance initializer?

    In the source below, I found that all 4 System.out.println() messages are printed.
    Is it possible to have the constructor and instance intializer in ClassC overrides that of ClassB?
    import java.util.*;
    class ClassB {
              System.out.println("Hello");     
         ClassB() {
              System.out.println("HaHa");     
    class ClassC extends ClassB {
              System.out.println("Hello1");     
         ClassC() {
              System.out.println("HaHa1");     
    public class Test1 {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              ClassC c = new ClassC();
    }

    You can't override an instance initializer, no. And when you create an object, some constructor of each of its superclasses must be called to do the creating. In your example, it's the default constructor of ClassB that's called. ClassC's constructor must call some constructor of ClassB.

  • Scheduling start up, shut down and internet connection without override

    System:
    I have a Mac on 10.5.8 and I have just purchased a new desktop Mac, and I need to be able to apply the solution to this question on both of those computers. I'll also be adding an iphone and ipad in the next couple of weeks.
    Question:
    I need to break a habit and to do it I need some external tools that I can't work around. I want to be able to schedule my computer to start up at noon and close at 10pm, without me being able to click a button or three to override it. I would want to set it for a week at a time and be able to renew at the end of each week.
    Similarly, within the time the computer is on I want to schedule when I have internet connection. For example, Tuesday to Sunday from 12.30-2.00pm, 4.00-5.30pm and 7.00-9.00pm. On Mondays I would want additional access from 5am to noon (which I've just realised would mean that the start up time would need an exception for Mondays as well).
    I can set someone up to do this for me remotely, presumably using Parental Controls (though I'm not sure they work with that kind of specificity) but I can see a hitch in that plan in that I would still want to be able to download software and apps (which require the computer's password which I presume the offsite person would use to set up and then lock the controls.
    I've been using the app Self-Control for the past couple of days and it works....but. I love that I cannot override it, that's brilliant. However, it is still giving me access to some of the sites I've blocked. For example, on tumblr, my blog and dashboard are invisible to me, but I can see the blogs of others if I type in their blog address; I can understand that because it adds a variation to the address, but it seems to be random and constantly changing who and what I can see. Also, it is making a massive number of other sites not work properly (reverting to very old school black and blue Times Roman html), images aren't working and it's blocking sites I've never heard of, let alone put on my blacklist. Sometimes it will let me onto a site then kick me off a few seconds later or if I click onto another page. It is blocking a site I removed from the blacklist. I can't access Google Maps either. So, it has limitations.
    My prime concern is limiting the times (not just the duration of access but the times of day I have access) the computer is on and that I have internet connection.
    I hope someone similarly in need of breaking their computer/internet habit can offer a solution or suite of solutions.
    Many thanks

  • Dynamic classloading without default constructor

    Just wondering if anyone has done dynamic classloading using a constructor other than the default. I know that newInstance() calls the default constructor. But how would you do it without that? Thanks for the help.

    If you know that there is a constructor that takes,
    for example, a single String argument you can use
    something like this:
    Class clazz = ...; // class to instantiate
    String stringArg = ...; // argument to pass to constructor
    Constructor c = clazz.getConstructor( new Class[] { String.class } );
    Object value = c.newInstance( new Object[] { stringArg > } );
    And even better, when JDK 1.5 is released, you'll be able to write:
        Class clazz = ...;
        String stringArg = ...;
        Constructor c = clazz.getConstructor(String.class);
        Object value = c.newInstance(stringArg);Geoff

  • Overriding constructors with static parameters?

    I have an abstract class named Stuk with the following constructor:
         public Stuk(boolean rdstuk, String soort){
              roodstuk = rdstuk;
         }and i have a couple of subclasses like this one:
    public Maarschalk(boolean rdstuk, soort){
              super(rdstuk, "maarschalk");
         }with soort being a static string that differs in every subclass
    i tried this because i want to be able to make an object of a certain subclass without making if-else constructions to make sure the proper constructor is used.
    ofcourse, the static variable method doesnt work
    any other suggestions?
    thanks in advance

  • Always create any Object even without default constructor?

    hi!
    i'm wondering if there's an easy way to construct an object of a given class?
    let's assume i've got a class
    class MyClass
         public MyClass( OtherClass c)
    }now when i get the constructors for its Class-object with
    clazz.getDeclaredConstructor()
    it will return null;
    ok now i know ther's no default/empty constructor.
    does it make sense to then search for the next constructor with n parameters?
    and then invoke it with nonsense values?
    what happens if the parameter classes also have no default constructor to create parameter objects? like this:
    class OtherClass
         public OtherClass ( MyClass c)
    }now there's a loop between the two constructors and i can't create empty parameter values to invoke any of them!
    i wonder how the serialization engine works then?
    or did i miss something trivial (it's really late here ;) )

    What's the problem? To create a MyClass object, you
    don't need any OtherClass objects. You just do the
    equivalent ofnew MyClass(null)in your
    reflective code.
    slap forehead with toilet
    thanks for the tip.
    as i said there was something absolutely easy, it's tough not seeing the forest for the trees ;/
    But I agree with jschell, if your requirements are to
    create objects of arbitrary classes and call
    arbitrary methods with arbitrary parameter lists,
    then whoever did your design didn't think for long
    enough.WELL. you're absolutely right. but when it's time to process ANY given object there's no reliability on whatever design was chosen. or, would you insist the developer had to provide standatized formats when you write a debugger? no it has to work with any. so must i!

  • Overriding Constructor Method

    Hello,
    I want to write a class that heritances behaviour and porpoerties of the superclass. Is it possible to execute the methods of the superclass in the subclass? Instead I could write a method in the superclass and call it inside constructor of the subclass, but that seems like a trick to me.

    Is it possible to execute the methods of the superclass in the

    If you are talking about calling super class constructor in subclass, you can do that:
    public function SubClassConstructor(){
         super();
    If you need to call function of superclass, well, you have to write it in superclass, right? Just make it either public or protected.

  • Overriding Superclass's Instance Variables?

    Ideally, this is what I'd like to accomplish:
    public abstract class AbstractClass {
        public static final int variable = 0;
        public static int getVariable() {
            return variable;
    public class RealClass {
        public static final int variable = 2;
    }So that when I call RealClass.getVariable(), it returns 2 instead of 0. I know that using the above code won't work, but is there something that I'm missing that will make this possible? I thought about making the variable non-final, and just passing it up to the superclass via a constructor, but then I can't have a static method. Is there a way to get something close to this accomplished, without overriding the superclass's getVariable() method?

    No can do. Variables are not runtime polymorphic, nor are static methods.
    public abstract class AbstractClass {
        public abstract int getVariable();
    }

  • The custom style mapping option text still maintains the word formatting or it shows a style override in the InDesign style - how do I correct this?

    When I tell the custom style mapping option to format a Word style (from an rtf document) with the InDesign style, the text still maintains the word formatting or it shows a style override in the InDesign style. I have a large document that needs to import the styles correctly and I've followed the tutorials exactly however the placed text is still hanging onto the word RTF styles. I want the rtf text to convert to my InDesign styles completely without overrides.

    I actually need the cell styles. That's what sets my font, spacing, and GREP styles.
    I did find the solution today. In the table style or table setup, I needed to set the "Stroke Drawing Order" to "Column Strokes in Front". Even though it was previously set to "Best Joins" and I had no strokes for rows or for the table borders, it just wasn't giving priority to my dotted columns.
    Thanks for your response though!

  • Character Direction override in Word 2003 imports

    I've searched for Character Direction and seen mainly mentions of ME and foreign language conversions right to left and left to right. We do not use ME or any foreign language features. The behavior I'm troubleshooting for InDesign CS5 7.0.3 importing Word 2003 docs on a Windows XP macine, is as follows:
    I have hundreds of Word 2003 documents, used in a production environment where editors update text daily or weekly, the production dept. imports into newsletters in InDesign. We go from import to finished product at the printer sometimes as quickly as 15 minutes.
    In CS4, all of these documents import into my publications without overrides, using Microsoft Word Import options set for Customize Style Import, and style mapping used to map Word paragraph styles to ID paragraph styles
    After the CS5 conversion, every one of my Word 2003 documents for all of my publications come in with overrides showing hyphenation settings and character direction that did not appear with CS4. This is despite my mapping styles, and the fact that these options can't even be (as far as I can tell) a paragraph or character override inside Word.
    I went back to CS4 to make sure there were no changes in the Word docs. They worked perfectly, no overrides.
    Inside Word 2003, I had to go to Tools > Language > Hyphenation and make the hyphenation setting in the Word doc match exactly the hyphenation settings for the paragraph style it was being mapped to in InDesign to make it go away at import.
    Now I am left only with the character direction Left To Right override, which I can't figure out how to fix.
    I can't find a way to set this in Word, and I can't find a way (since I don't have ME) to change it in InDesign. It is not practical for me to run a script for every import or continue to reset the overrides manually, because we simply don't have to the time, our deadlines are too tight and frequent. Plus, if we miss one, there are definite consequences, because the data is exported in a variety of formats for reuse automatically via scripts, and the override is messing up my exports.
    I was hoping I'd see a post that says, "Ah yes, the Word filters in CS5 were updated, and now we look for hyphenation and character direction, and here's what you can do as a workaround" but I'm not seeing anything. If I can't define left to right in the regular version of ID or in Word 2003, does anyone have an idea how I can get my import to ignore it again?

    I hate it when I know too much about MS Word.
    I don't have Word accessible right now, but you can set character direction in (the Windows version of) Word. I don't remember the exact details off-hand. Character direction is not the only overrides I've seen make its way in. I've seen some CJK features get imported as overrides as well (by users not using CJK languages).
    It actually depends on your OS and your version of Word, I think. In Word 2007 on Windows 7, you need to have a RTL keyboard installed in order to expose the right-to-left-paragraph and left-to-right-paragraph buttons on the ribbon. I think that Asian scripts are on in all installs of Word 2007, but since our OS has some Asian keyobards turned on by default by Group Policy, I'm unsure of this. In Word 2003 on Windows XP, you need the, oh heck I can't visualise the menu, something like "Enable complex script support for right-to-left languages" in the Region and Language tab in Control Panel.
    For all recent versions of Word, you can check the Fonts window (control-D) to see if you have one, two, or three scripts enabled.
    Font = Latin-script
    Asian text font = CJK
    Complex scripts = Thai/Lao/etc. and Arabic/Farsi/etc.
    Finally: It's possible to have a RTL paragraph in a Word document on the machine of someone who does not have the Complex Scripts dropdown in the Font menu in Word. Likewise, it's possible to have paragraph styles in Word with CJK information on a machine that does not have CJK support turned on in Word (I have seen this numerous times in the Win XP/Office 2003 era).
    So, in terms of the original post - I haven't yet figured out if this is a new feature of CS5, or something about one's install of Word or Windows, but there are so many variables that the only obvious solution to me is "a workflow in which overrides are always cleared." You don't like that solution, I understand, but any other solution would require some extended troubleshooting of the entire workflow, including all installs of Word that might contribute a Word doc to be placed in ID.

  • How to access constructor that is not public from another package

    Hi,
    We have a class that has a constructor in package se.company.internal that looks like:
    DraHw(){
    Then from a HwTest class ( packge se.company.function.hw) we want to access this class but we cannot make the constructor public.
    Any ideas on how we can create an instance of DraHw when testing without making constructor public?
    br,
    //mike

    > we want
    However do you in fact actually need to?  And if you do that are you breaking the design of the other app?  Obviously there is in fact a way to create the class so perhaps you should study that first to insure that there is not some designed way to do what you want.
    > How would that 1:1 one class look like?
    I REALLY suggest that you look at the original design again.

  • Why does the child class need to implement the parent classes constructor?/

    As I was playing around with some code I came across this point :
    First Class
    public class A {
         public int x;
         A(int i){
              x=i;
              System.out.println("A is initialised");
    }Second Class extending it :
    public class B extends A{
         private int y;
       // Why do I need this constructor to call parents constructor?
      // My guess is so that when i make an object of class B referring to class A it should make sense?
         B(int i) {                     
              super(i); 
              y=test;
    public static void main(String args[]){
          A a = new A(1);
          A b = new B(1); make an object of class B referring to class A it should work!!
          B c = new B(2);
          B d =(B) new A(2);  --> gives class cast exception!
    }I am little confused here, Can someone throw more light on it.
    Thanks

    You don't override constructors. However, every class, in it's constructor, must call some constructor from the class it's extending. In most cases this is simply super(). However, if your class does not have a default constructor (i.e. you've declared any other constructor, or the sub class does not have access to it, I.E. you've declared it private) then you must include a call to some other constructor in the super class. The constructor in the subclass does not have to be the same as the super class one, but you do have to invoke a constructor from the super class. I.E.
    class A {
      A(int i) {}
    class B extends A {
      B(String b) {
        super(0);
    }

  • When entering a new website it overrides the previous site, how can i get it to open a new tab instead

    I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, I JUST THOUGHT THAT IF THERE IS A WAY TO OPEN A NEW TAB EACH TIME YOU ENTER A NEW WEBSITE WITHOUT OVERRIDING THE PREVIOUS ONE. YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO REMEMBER TO ENTER THE PLUS SIGN EACH TIME YOU WANT TO OPEN A NEW WEBSITE.

    The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link.
    That option allows to divert such links to a new tab instead of a new window.
    For links that do not specify a target use a middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the link or use the right-click context menu to open the link in a new tab or window.<br />
    Left-click a JavaScript link to avoid getting a blank tab.
