Why cannot create instance to an abstract class?

Dear Developers....
abstract class can create be its own constructor but why they didn't create object

We cann't create an object for abstract class
because they have abstract methods which depends on
its subclass for its implementation. if it is
possible to create the object for abstract class
means then you can call a method which has no
implementation(abstract methods) which is a illegal
one thats what the ruleWhat about classes with no abstract members?
public abstract class A {}No danger of accessing anything illegal here.
The rule is far more simple. By declaring a class as abstract, the creator defines that no instances of this class may exist. Period. If you could create instances, the class wouldn't be abstract anymore, per definition. It's like asking why a green light doesn't shine red. If it would, it wouldn't be green anymore.

  • BEA-090563 -- Cannot create instance of Hostname Verifier

    I am trying to use custom hostname verifier for my osb project and following are the steps.
    1. Create java class -- given below as reference...

    Hi Ravi,
    3. Package the class in the jar file using eclipse export java project and place the file in server-lib folder.Instead of placing the jar in server-lib, please modify setDomainEnv.cmd/setDomainEnv.sh as below to add jar in the classpath-
    set CLASSPATH=<Your_Jar_PATH>;%CLASSPATH%
    Restart WebLogic Server and re-test.
    From Weblogic 10.3.4 onwards there is a patch available to enhance the existing default BEA hostname verifier to include wildcard certificates and wildcard host name verifier is available in Weblogic 10.3.6

  • Why only create instance on receive activites?

    Hi,
    I have a couple of integrations where I have to poll a Web Service continually. To get the flow going I have to read a dummy file and in a loop call the Web Service. I don’t understand why there is this restriction. Why can’t all activities create an instance? I also have an integration where I continually call a PL/SQL procedure and process the output. Also here I have to first have a receive process that reads a dummy file before the real integrations can start. There must be a good reason for this I just can’t think of one. :-)
    Regards Pete

    Thanks HEWizard,
    I can access tables and PL/SQL from BPEL, but I need a dummy receive activity first like reading a dummy file or polling a dummy table and updating/deleting a row in the table. I don’t understand why that is.
    If I create a Partner Link that calls a PL/SQL procedure and use a receive activity to call it, I get the error “Operation is not specified” (http://theheat.dk/bpelDb1.jpg)
    If I use an invoke activity to call it I get an error because I don’t have a receive activity first (http://theheat.dk/bpelDb2.jpg)

    Welcome to the forum.
    Do you have the trial, or the full-paid version?
    For the trail, Ann's link will tell the full story.
    If the full-paid version, did you do the updates?
    If so, it is likely that your full-paid version has reverted to trail. This happened to some in CS4, and it appears that the update trial Bug might be back in CS5.
    If your full-paid version HAS reverted:
    Deactivate, if possible, and Uninstall
    Run Adobe Clean Script CS5 several times, rebooting between each run
    Reinstall PrPro, and immediately update, before launching the program
    Good luck, and let us know which version you have,

  • ".. is an abstract class.  It can't be instantiated"

    Does anyone have an idea of how I can get rid of the above error message? Here is a bit of my code:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.Vector;
    class Project3 {
    private BiTree company = new BiTree();
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

    run.Command();
    public void Command() throws IOException {}
    public interface comparable {
    //not sure if need this in this class, or at all
    public int compare(Object object1,Object object2);
    public void add() {

    String name = stdin.readLine();
    System.out.println("Enter title");
    BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));;
    String title = stdin.readLine();
    System.out.println("Enter payrate");

    newOne.setTitle(title);
    newOne.setName(name);
    newOne.setPayrate(payrate);
    company.insert(newOne);
    }

    It is not possible to create instances of an abstract class.
    I hope this example helps,
    abstract class Vehicle
    public static void main(String arg[])
    Vehicle a;
    a = new Automobile(); // ok, since Automobile is a kind of Vehicle
    // The class Automobile, a special case of Vehicle

  • Geting subclass info from abstract class

    Does ne one know how i can retreive informtion from the subclasses of an abstract class by creatinig an instance of the abstract class.
    are Methods such as getClass used?

    Does ne one know how i can retreive informtion from
    the subclasses of an abstract class by creatinig an
    instance of the abstract class.You can never create an instance of the abstract class. That is why they are called abstract.
    >

    Coming to your actual question, a superclass will not know anything about its children. So you will have to do something else get that information.
    Maybe inspecting all the classes in a classloader and checking its parent will be an option. I do not think this is possible, because ClassLoader does not provide a mechanism to get all the classes.
    Somebody else might give you a better answer. I am just trying to answer one part of your question concerning abstract classes.

  • Abstract classes in jave.i0

    I have read that you cannot create and instance of an abstract class. If that is correct how is it possiable that I can code this ?
    File Myfile = new File('c:/abc.txt);
    What am I missing can anyone help ?

    Ohh, wait, got it.
    java.io.File An abstract representation of file and directory pathnames.
    It is not an abstract class, if you look at an abstract class AbstractList for example, it will say "abstract class AbstractList" in the API.
    File however takes a concept common (but not necessary identical) to all operating Systems (like Windows, Linux and MacOS X), but "abstracts" it, so you the developer are not exposed to the differences between OSes.

  • Dynamically invoke methods of abstract class?

    Hi,
    I am using reflection to write a class (ClassA) to dynamically invoke methods of classes. I have an abstract class (ClassB) that has some of the methods already implemented, and some of the methods that are declared abstract. Is there any way that I can:
    (a) invoke the methods that are already implemented in ClassB;
    (b) I have another class (ClassC) that extends ClassB, some of the methods are declared in both classes. Can I dynamically invoke these methods from ClassB?
    Thanks in advance,
    Matt.

    Ok, the program is quite long, as it does other things as well, so I'll just put in the relevant bits.
    What I have is a JTree that displays classes selected by the user from a JFileChooser, and their methods.
    // I declare a variable called executeMethod
    private static Method executeMethod;
    // objectClass is a class that has been chosen by the user.  I create a new instance of this class to execute the methods.
    Object createdObject = objectClass.newInstance();
    // methodName is the method selected by the user.  objectClassMethods is an array containing all the methods in the chosen class.
    executeMethod = objectClassMethods[j].getDeclaringClass().getMethod(methodName, null);
    Object executeObject = executeMethod.invoke(createdObject, new Object[]{});Ok, here are the test classes:
    public abstract class ClassB{
         private int age;
         private String name;
         public ClassB(){ age = 1; name="Me";}
         public int getAge(){ return age; }
         public String getName(){ return name; }
         public void PrintAge(){System.out.println(age);}
         public void PrintName(){System.out.println(name);}
         public abstract void PrintGreeting();
    public class ClassC extends ClassB{
         public ClassC(){super();}
         public void PrintAge(){
              System.out.println("I am " + getAge() + " years old.");
         public void PrintGreeting(){
           System.out.println("Hello");
    }Now, I can print out the PrintAge method from ClassC (i.e. have it output "Hello" to the command line, how can I, say, get it to output the result of PrintName from ClassB, this method does not appear in ClassC. As you can see at the top, I can create a new instance of a normal method (in this case, ClassC), and have it output to the command line, but I know that I can't create a new instance of an abstract class. And since PrintName is implemented in abstract class ClassB, how do I get it to output to the command line?
    Thanks,
    Matt.

  • When we will go for an abstract class and when we will go for an interface?

    it's always some what confusing to choose an abstract class and an interface,can anybody post a suitable answer for this.

    jwenting wrote:
    with experience and the insight it brings, you will know which to use when.
    Without it, it can't be explained.
    More often than not there's no X OR Y anyway.It's fortunate that there are posters here who possess the insight and experience necessary to explain this. The principal differences between an abstract class and an interface are,
    1. An abstract class can carry implementation, whereas an interface cannot.
    2. An abstract class is singly inherited, wheras an interface is multiply inherited.
    So use an abstract class when the implementation it can carry outweights the fact that it cannot be multiply inherited That's the gist of it.
    The inheritance relationship where this happens is when the supertype is a general concept of which all potential subtypes are special cases. This is called a specialization (or sometimes a generalization) relationship. For example Apple and Banana are Fruit. Or Car and Bike are Vechicle. The Fruit and Vechicle supertypes are general concepts of which their subtypes are special cases. In this case make Fruit and Vechicle abstract classes because the subtypes will benefit from a shared implementation.
    If you don't have a clearcut specialization/generalization relationship make the supertype an interface. An example could be the Comparable supertype. The potential subtypes aren't supposed to be specializations of the Comparable concept, they're suppose to become Comparable (and make this property an integral part of their being). This is not a specialization/generalization relationship. Instead the supertype is intended to add character to the subtypes. The subtypes are unlikely to benefit from an inherited implementation. So make Comparable an interface.

  • Object of an abstract class

    Can we create object of an abstract class ?

    As Richard Brünning mentioned in his reply, we can't instantiate the object with reference to the Abstract Class. i.e.
    DATA: O_OBJ TYPE REF TO ZCL_ABS_CLASS.
    CREATE O_OBJ.   " << This will give syntax error
    But you can surely use the abstract class to reference the object. At run time, based on your required you can instantiate the object with actual reference type to the subclass of the abstract class. Like:
    DATA: O_OBJ TYPE REF TO ZCL_ABS_CLASS.
    * ZCL_ABS_CLASS_SUB is sub class of the ZCL_ABS_CLASS
    CREATE O_OBJ TYPE ZCL_ABS_CLASS_SUB.

  • What is the difference between Abstract class and Interface ?

    Hi,
    Could u plz tell me the difference between Abstract class and Interface?
    Thanks in advance.
    Gopi

    Lots.
    An abstract class can contain some method implementations, or indeed all the method implementations. It may contain methods with all the various access modifiers. It cannot be instantiated. A class may inherit from only a single abstract class.
    An interface contains only public method stubs and constants. A class may implement multiple interfaces. An interface cannot (obviously) be instantiated.
    Abstract classes are particularly useful when you need to provide a semi-complete implementation for reuse. Interfaces are used more like types.
    Look at java.util.* for some good examples of the use of both.

Maybe you are looking for
