Can any methods be overridden ? Every non-final, non-private, non-static method can be overridden. Any method that is private, static, or final, cannot be.
Is that making use of double pointer ?
And I am telling you that it is not defined and not relevant.

That is not specified, and is an irrelevant implementation detail.i am asking that, to make every method ( non-final, non-private, non-static method) overridable does java is using any concept called double pointer ?
IT. IS. NOT. DEFINED. An implementation is free to do it however it wants.
Why do you care? Why do you think it matters?

  • Virtual methods- abstract methods

    Hi, I need to get this clear in my head.
    In C++ you had virtual methods()
    If a method was virtual this made the enclosing class abstract.
    There is no such thing as abstract methods in C++?
    In java, if you have an abstract method your enclosing class becomes abstract.
    There is no such thing as a virtual method in java.
    is all the above correct?

    Abstract methods have no implementation. You can have those in C++. If I remember correctly, they'd look something like this:
    public void foo() = 0;
    In java, if you have an abstract method your
    enclosing class becomes abstract.
    There is no such thing as a virtual method in java.Incorrect.
    All methods in Java are virtual by default. Every method is fair game to be overridden by a subclass. You mark them with the final keyword to prohibit overriding.
    All methods in C++ are final by default. You can't override any method in a subclass unless you mark it with the virtual keyword. (This was keeping the Bjarne's philosophy of "only pay for what you use".)

    The API documentation has a link at the top of every page that says "Index". If you follow that and look for toFront(), you will find it exists in java.awt.Window and javax.swing.JInternalFrame.

  • JavaScript calls method on Java Applet-- Problem

    Hi all,
    I have a problem as following:
    I have a method on JavaScript calling a method on Java Applet. A method on JavaScript repeatedly retrieves data form the server , let's say; every 100 ms and it calls the method on Java to draw a graph(I use thread to call repaint()). The problem is, if I leave the applet site(or the site has lost the focus), the stop() will be called and I can't recieve data from JavaScript anymore. If I go back to the site, the applet starts, but the graph doesn't show the figure, as it supposes to show.
    how can I tell the browser doesn't call the stop() or there is another way to solve this problem?
    Thanks for all answers. CU.
    A-Pex

    my own fault.. it's not the browser or the applet.. It's my computer.. it's too old for this applet..
    Does anyone know, how to optimize the applet with thread? thanks..

  • Is there a method in java that can schedule work??

    I'm working on a project and I need to start a program at a fixed time each day.
    E.g. every day at 03:00 AM!
    Is there such a method in java?? Or can somebody give me an
    example of how this can be done!
    Thank you in advance : )

    it really depends on whether you mean you want the operating system to start the "program" for you, or whether you want your own java program to spawn other tasks...
    Check the OS docs if it is the former, and use java.util.TimerTask for the latter

  • Error(23,19): method getName(java.lang.String) not found in class javax.swi

    Hi , when i try to run my program, i keep getting the error msg:
    Error(23,19): method getName(java.lang.String) not found in class javax.swing.JTextField
    I have checked the java API and it inherits from the awt.Component class and should be accessible via the jtextfield.
    I have tried the following:
    trying to initailise the JTextField at the start.
    Using getName works if i use it within the loop after setting the name.
    Does anybody know what i am doing wrong please?
    public class clsMember extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
        private JButton jbtnLog;
        private String surname;
        private JTextField txtItem;
        public clsMember() {
            super(new SpringLayout());
            makeInterface();
            surname = txtItem.getName("Surname").toString();
    private void makeInterface() {
         //code omitted
               for (int i = 0; i < numpairs; i++) {
                JLabel l = new JLabel(strLabels, JLabel.LEADING);
    this.add(l);
    //if the array item is salutation create a combobox
    if (strLabels[i] == "Salutation") {
    jcomSalutation = new JComboBox(strSalutation);
    jcomSalutation.setSelectedIndex(0);
    this.add(jcomSalutation);
    } else {
    txtItem = new JTextField(10);
    l.setLabelFor(txtItem);
    txtItem.setName(strLabels[i].replaceAll(" ", "")); //this is where the label is set and if i do a system.out it shows fine. getName works here too.
    this.add(txtItem);
    //code omitted

    If i have a loop that creates the jtextfields such as
                    txtItem = new JTextField(10);
                    l.setLabelFor(txtItem);
                    txtItem.setName(strLabels.replaceAll(" ", ""));
    this.add(txtItem);How is it then possible to assign to a string the value of a *specific jtextfield*. Lets say that one of these JTextfields has the name surname.
    How is it possible for me to writeString surname = surnamejtextfield.getText();                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • Deprecated methods in java.lang.thread

    Hi,
    I am getting the followng warning message when i run my code:
    The method void stop() in class java.lang.Thread has been deprecated,
    can anyone suggest an alternative method to the deprectaed stop method, i can't seem to find one.
    Thanks in advance

    The stop() method in thread has been deprecated because it is inherently dangerous. The suggested action now is to simply modify a variable inside the thread to tell it to stop running, and the thread should periodically check the variable to see when it should stop. There's good description of why stop() and a few other methods in Thread have been deprecated at..

  • Java.sql.Blob method setBinaryStream?

    Hi,
    I've been trying to use the java.sql.Blob methods instead of the "Oracle Extensions" so that people w/o Oracle (using MySQL etc.) can still use my code.
    Problem: trying to get the OutputStream to write to the Blob. As of JDK1.4, java.sql.Blob has a method to do this, setBinaryStream. Unfortunately, calling this in Oracle JDBC (tried it in both thin and OCI version) throws an SQLException (Unsupported feature).
    Sample code:
    //Assume we already have a connection to the database, over either OCI or thin.
    //Assume a Statement stmt created from the connection.
    //Assume a table BlobTable with 2 fields : id (number) and data (blob).
    public void uploadBlob(byte [] theBytes){
         try{
         stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO BlobTable (id, data) VALUES (1,empty_blob())");
         ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT data FROM BlobTable WHERE id=1 FOR UPDATE");
         if (rs.next()){
    java.sql.Blob blob=rs.getBlob(1);
         OutputStream out=blob.setBinaryStream(0);
         //Next line never printed - error thrown.
         System.out.println("Got Stream");
         catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
    //End code
    Am I doing something wrong? Or is there simply no way to write to a Blob without using the extensions?
    None of the docs (examples, guides, etc) make any mention of this, although the JDBC dev guide does mention that the similar method in PreparedStmt only works over OCI.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Hi lancea,
    It's been a while since this thread was active, but I have a related question.
    Is there a comprehensive list of changes between JDBC 3 and JDBC 4 that makes application not work any more, such as this setBinaryStream issue or the CallableStatement/Named parameters issue that we stumbled upon. We would like to address these issues proactively and not find out about them in production, since we're upgrading from jdk1.4 to jdk6. Oracle has provided us with their changes regarding database versions, but have been less forthcoming with JDBC spec version changes.
    Thanks in advance,
