This keyword problem , how refer to super super class?

Hello
I had many times a problem on specifying this keyword as an argument to a constructor
For example in this case
package Test;
public class Model {
    public Model() {
    public void connect(){
        new Thread(){
            public void run(){
                new TestClass( *this* ).start();
}bolded this will refer to Thread class and i want it to refer to Model class i mean to the class up one level.
Is there a way to do that?

How to inherit super class constructor in the sub class

I have a class A and class B
Class B extends Class A {
// if i use super i can access the super classs variables and methods
// But how to inherit super class constructor
}

You cannot inherit constructors. You need to define all the ones you need in the subclass. You can then call the corresponding superclass constructor. e.g
public B() {
super();
public B(String name) {
super(name);
}

Problem with subclass and super class

here is the things i wanted to do
/*Write a method that takes the time as three integer arguments (hours, minutes and seconds),
and returns the number of seconds since the last time it was twelve o'clock.
Write a program that uses this method to calculate the amount of time in seconds between two times,
assuming both are within one twelve hour cycle of a clock.
here is a class to find the last time closes to 120'clock in sec.
import java.io.*;
public class Timer {
     int converter = 60;
     int secinTwelveHour = 43200;
     int converter2 = 12;
public int timerTime (int hour, int min, int sec){
          int totalSec = 0;
          //Finding the time
          if (hour > 0 && hour <= 24 && min > 0 && min <=60 && sec > 0 && sec <= 60 && hour <= 11){
               //find last 12 o'Clock
               hour = converter2 + hour;

Now i'm having program with the compliing can anyone help me out like tell me what i'm doing wrong and give me a bit of a code so that i can have a push start
thanks you

Does this do what you want? It is in two seperate classes.
import java.io.*;
public class FindTime {
public static void main( String [] arg){
int timeSec = 0;

     Timer timerClass = new Timer();

     int totalSec1 = timerClass.timerTime(12, 3, 45);
     int totalSec2 = timerClass.timerTime(14, 23, 60);
     timeSec = java.lang.Math.abs(totalSec1-totalSec2);
     // Now print the values we got back
     System.out.println("Last closes Sec to 12 o'clock " + totalSec1);
     System.out.println("Last closes sec to 12 o'clock " + totalSec2);
     System.out.println("Last closes sec to 12 o'clock " + timeSec);
     }//End of main method
}//End of Program
import java.io.*;
public class Timer {
int converter = 60;
int secinTwelveHour = 43200;
int converter2 = 12;
public int timerTime (int hour, int min, int sec){
     int totalSec = 0;
     //Finding the time
     if (hour > 0 && hour <= 24 && min > 0 && min <=60 && sec > 0 && sec <= 60 && hour <= 11){
     //find last 12 o'Clock
     hour = converter2 + hour;
     //change to sec time
     totalSec = (hour * converter * converter) + (min * converter) + sec;
     } else {
     if (hour > 0 && hour <= 24 && min > 0 && min <=60 && sec > 0 && sec <= 60 && hour >= 12){

Keywords Following one of my top level keywords is a mid space dot. Every new keyword is inserted within this keyword. How to I get rid of this? Chris

I cannot add much to the above question, only say that I have three catalogues and the others do not share this issue.

Do you mean:
A) Get rid of the dot?
or
B) Get rid of the keyword entirely?

How to access super class's super class

Hello every one.
I have a question.
if I have a class like:
public class A {
void methoda() {
void methodb() {
and a class B extends A and override A's methoda
public class B extends A {
void methoda() {
and a class C extends B which want use A's methoda.
public class C extends B {
// and here I want to use class A 's methoda,how can I do?
thanks a lot

Try the following. When run it eill print out:
[In class C] A:B:C
Now calling A's method: [In class A] A and i is 500Which is what you want right?
public class TestSuperSuper {
    public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
        C c = new C();
        c.setName("A", "B", "C");
        c.setI(500);
        c.methodA();
    static class A {
        String aName;
        int i;
        public void methodA(){
            System.out.println("[In class A] " + aName + " and i is " + i);
        public void setName(String aName){
            this.aName = aName;
        public void setI(int i){
            this.i = i;
    static class B extends A {
        String bName;
        public void methodA(){
            System.out.println("[In class B] " + aName + ":" + bName);
        public void setName(String aName, String bName){
            this.aName = aName;
            this.bName = bName;
    static class C extends B {
        String cName;
        A wrappedA;
        public C(){
            wrappedA = new A();
        public void methodA(){
            reflectOnA();
            System.out.println("[In class C] " + aName + ":" + bName + ":" + cName);
            System.out.print("Now calling A's method: ");
            wrappedA.methodA();
        public void setName(String aName, String bName, String cName){
            this.aName = aName;
            this.bName = bName;
            this.cName = cName;
        private void reflectOnA(){
            try {
            Field[] aFields = wrappedA.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
            for (int i = 0; i < aFields.length; i++){
                Class fldType = aFields.getType();
if (fldType.isPrimitive()){
if (fldType.getName().equals("int")){
aFields[i].setInt(wrappedA, aFields[i].getInt(this));
else {
// now do the other primitive type tests here
else {
aFields[i].set(wrappedA, aFields[i].get(this));
catch (Exception e){
System.err.println(e);
The main thing here is that in class C you have an instance variable called wrappedA which is an instance of A and the method called reflectOnA(). Basically, what this method does is it will set all the fields in wrappedA to the same values that this object has so that it would look like that wrappedA is somewhat the same as this object. You will call this method whenever you want to call your superclass' superclass' method.
Hope this helps.

Composition in java : how to access super-class from sub-class

I have 3 classes related by composition
class A{
B b = new B();
class B{
List<C> cList = new ArrayList<C>();
in class C{
getSample(){
//Try to access class A
how can I access A from class C ?
Any help is appreciated!

well, 'Id' is known only to class A, and class C has a getSample() which is called in class A.
class A{
B b = new B();
getID(){
return id;
b.getC().getSample();
class B{
List<C> cList = new ArrayList<C>();
class C{
getSample(){
if() {
//pick up value from properties file
// format the value and parameter substitute it with 'Id' from A
The design does seem a little weird, but I guess this is the only way to do this considering the other constraints we have ....
TIA

Jsut turned on my mac and the fan is blowing really hard is this a problem

I just turned on my mac and the fan is blowing in over drive is this a problem how do i fix it

Depends. We first need to know your iMAc model to know if your have a problem or a feautre. For a start, you can do "About this Mac" and tell us what it says about your Mac OSX version and processor type:

Using the 'this' keyword

What is the use of the this keyword:
import java.util.*;
public abstract class LegalEntity implements HasAddress{
private String address;
private String area;
private String registrationDate;
private ArrayList accounts;
public LegalEntity()
     accounts = new ArrayList();
public void addAddress(String address){this.address = address;}
public String getAddress(){return address;}
public void addAccount(Account account)
     accounts.add(account);
public ArrayList returnAccounts()
     return accounts;
}

This can be used when there are lots of static functions and you want to be sure you are invoking the current objects methods/members.

How do I reference a class in a .dll library?

How do I reference a class in a .dll library? The following code extracts the contents of a ListView after a line is MouseDoubleClick:
    static public void GetListViewValues(object sender, List<string> liststListViewValues)
      ListViewItem lvi = sender as ListViewItem;
      ListViewTabs obj = lvi.DataContext as ListViewTabs;
      liststListViewValues.Add(obj.tabNumber);
      liststListViewValues.Add(obj.tabDetails);
    public class ListViewTabs
      public string tabNumber { get; set; }
      public string tabDetails { get; set; }
I want to move this code (not the class) into a library .dll. The .dll is generic ... could be called by any namespace. It needs to know about the ListViewTabs class in this example.
bhs67

>>How do I reference a class in a .dll library?
You add a reference to the .dll (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wkze6zky.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396) and add a using statement for the namespace
in which the class is defined at the top of the code file in which you want to use the class:
using YourNameSpace;
>>I want to move this code (not the class) into a .dll.
The method must be put into some class. You could create a class in the class library and put the method in there:
namespace YourNameSpace
public class YourClass
static public void GetListViewValues(object sender, List<string> liststListViewValues)
ListViewItem lvi = sender as ListViewItem;
ListViewTabs obj = lvi.DataContext as ListViewTabs;
liststListViewValues.Add(obj.tabNumber);
liststListViewValues.Add(obj.tabDetails);
public class ListViewTabs
public string tabNumber { get; set; }
public string tabDetails { get; set; }
>>The .dll is generic ... could be called by any namespace.
Every class belongs to a namespace (potentially the global (or unnamed) namespace) in C#.
>>It needs to know about the ListViewTabs class in this example.
If the method in the .dll needs to know about the ListViewTabs class you must put the ListViewTabs class into the same .dll or create another .dll, put the ListViewTabs class there and then add a reference to this .dll from the one containing your method.
You cannot keep the ListViewTabs class in the WPF application project from which you add a reference to the .dll that contains the method because you cannot add a reference from A to B and from B to A as this will lead to a circular dependency.
Hope that helps.

'super' keyword problem....

hi everyone,
I had this starnge problem with super keyword,it gives me this compile error "Error(1042,11): method insertString(int, java.lang.String, javax.print.attribute.AttributeSet) not found in class javax.swing.text.PlainDocument"
hope any one could help
thanx
Code:
import javax.swing.text.AttributeSet;
import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;
import javax.swing.text.PlainDocument;
import javax.print.attribute.AttributeSet;
class myDocPattern extends PlainDocument
public void insertString(int offs, String str, AttributeSet a) throws BadLocationException
    String oldText = this.getText(0,this.getLength());
    if (str.length() > 2 || "0123456789.".indexOf(str) < 0 || (str.equals(".") && offs <= 0) ||
       (oldText.length() > 3 && (oldText+str).indexOf(".") <= 1) || (oldText+str).length() > 7)
      java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
      return;
    super.insertString(offs, str, a);
}

I had this starnge problem with super keyword,it gives me this
compile error "Error(1042,11): method insertString(int, java.lang.String,
javax.print.attribute.AttributeSet)
not found in class javax.swing.text.PlainDocument"
> super.insertString(offs, str, a);Repeating what the compiler already told you: the superclass PlainDocument
doesn't have a method named 'insertString' with a
javax.print.attribute.AttributeSet type parameter; the last parameter type
needs to be a javax.swing.text.AttributeSet. (identical class names in
different packages).
kind regards,

hi all
i have simple complex object in jave that looks like this :

}i converted it with jaxb and it generete me corespanding java object with the propreate geters and seters
now when i try to in the server side to insert this object into List<Object> im geting error saing :

Ok I found it out
jboss was using the jre default axis impelmentation while the server where my client was deployed was using the axis 2 implementation
I changed the server to use jre default axis and things worked now

Javah problem - super class could not be found !!

Hi all,
i have already posted this message but i didn't get enough help to solve my poor situation.
and this is my problem:
i got in my project (myProject) MyClass class.
i wrote in another java class ,in OtherClass.class ,jni function that use MyClass object as parameter to the jni interface, as follow:
private native int myFunction (MyClass obj); //function in OtherClass
when i write the javah command line :
javah -jni OtherClass (in order to create OtherClass.h)
i always get the following error:
A required super class myPackage.MyClass could not be found.
my qoustion is how can i let the javah command line to know about the existence of myPackage.MyClass and how can i create and .h file when i using other class instance as jni function parameter in other class??
Thanks Sendy.

Lets define a few terms here.
Java can be a java virtual machine which is what runs when you type 'java' on the command line. It is also represented by the compiler which runs when you type 'javac'. And in your case it also is represented by 'javah'.
The class path defines where java finds classes that it needs.
In older versions of java you had to tell it where to find everything. It couldn't even find java.lang.String unless you told it were it was. Now days you have to tell it where to find stuff that you add (or where 3rd party libraries are.)
There are two ways to define the class path: a command line option and an environment variable.
A class path can, currently, have three types of things in it:
-A path to a zip file
-A path to a jar file
-A path
For example
-Path to zip file in windows: C:\mystuff\mylib\mystuff.zip
-Path to zip file in unix: /opt/system/projects/mystuff/mystuff.zip
-Path to jar file in windows: C:\mystuff\mylib\myjar.jar
-Path to jar file in unix: /opt/system/projects/mystuff/myjar.jar
-Path in windows: C:\mystuff\mylib
-Path in unix: /opt/system/projects/mystuff
Zip files aren't used as much anymore, but you should at least be aware of them.
Java uses the class path to look for classes which are stored in files. It does this by translating the class name into a file name. It uses packages as directory names and class names as file names. So in your case it would try to find a class called myPackage.MyClass in a file called myPackage\MyClass.class. It would try to find that in any zip files, jar files, in in any paths that you specified in the class path.
So java is trying to find myPackage\MyClass.class in your class path. It would try to find that in any zip files, jar files, in in any paths that you specified in the class path.
Right now your class path is probably just "." which means that if you do the following commands
cd C:\mystuff
javah -jni OtherClass
Then java is going to try to find myPackage.MyClass in the following file
.\myPackage\MyClass.class
That, because you 'cd' to C:\mystuff, translates to the following absolute path
C:\mystuff\myPackage\MyClass.class
So if java doesn't find that file then it is going to tell you that it can't find the file.
So where is your file? Let's say it is here.
C:\work\lib\myPackage\MyClass.class
So you must tell javah where the root is. Keep in mind that 'myPackage' must be part of the path. That is not optional. The root is the directory above 'myPackage'. So the root is
C:\work\lib
So now you have a path that is ready for your class path. So your javah command could look like this
javah -classpath ".;C:\work\lib" -jni OtherClass
Or using an environment variable
set CLASSPATH=.;C:\work\lib
javah -jni OtherClass
Keep in mind in the above that class path is a generic term and there can be other ways to define it. For example the Sun command "java" allows you to use "-classpath" or "-cp".
So does the above help?

How to indicate the object of the super Class ?

hello,
I need to notify when one dialog is close to the class that generated it.
Of course I do it from the method windowClosing() in the class WindowAdapter.
But if I use "this" how parameter in the method, I noted the value is that of the inner anonymous class, and not that of the dialog class.
I write down some code to reproduce the problem ....
public ReferenceToTheSuperClass() {
        final SecondClass sc = new SecondClass(this);
        jButton1 = new javax.swing.JButton();
//        final ReferenceToTheSuperClass xx = this;
        jButton1.setText("jButton1");
        jButton1.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
                 sc.checkSuper(xx);                    // work
                 sc.checkSuper(this);                   // not work
                 sc.checkSuper(super.getClass()); // not work
} // ReferenceToTheSuperClass
class SecondClass {
    ReferenceToTheSuperClass superiorClass;
    public SecondClass(ReferenceToTheSuperClass supClass){
        superiorClass = supClass;
    public void checkSuper(Object o){
        if (o instanceof ReferenceToTheSuperClass){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"HELLO");
} // SecondClass My ask is: It is possible to indicate the value of the instance of the super Class, inside one his anonynimous inner class?
thank you
regards
tonyMrsangelo

thank you for your kinkly answer jeverd,
yes what you say is right, in this case the class is only nested (in the hurry I used a wrong word).
About the sintax, I vould find only a short statement to use inside the inner anomymous class and, reading what you say, I can guess it is not possible to do it..
again thank you
regards

How to get the subclass from a super class( or interface)

hi,
I want to get subclass from a super class (or a interface), how to do that? the subclass of a interface means the class implementing the interface.
for example;
List ls;
I want to get the subclass of ls, i.e., LinkedList, Stack, Vector......
AbstractList al;
the subclass of al, i.e., ArrayList, Vector.......
thanks
Aiwu

List ls = new ArrayList();Since ls has been declared as a List we can only use List methods
with it. This is a good thing because we might later want to change
it to some other sort of List.
I want to get subclass from a super class (or a interface), how to do
that?The instance of the subclass declared above did not really come
from the super class. A class "knows nothing" about its
subclasses: many sub classes would not even exist at the time
the class was written.

This keyword problem , how refer to super super class?
