Parent Class - No Argument Constructors

Mar 10, 2014

class Test3 {
} class MySub extends Test3 {
}
class Test4{
public static void main(String args[]) {
MySub m = new MySub();
}
}

I learned that if a class and its parent class both have no constructors, the compiler is supposed to complain. When I compiled Test4, i got no errors. why did it give no errors?

I read this article : [URL] ....

Servlets :: Calling DoGet Of Child Class From Service Of Parent Class

May 28, 2014

Regarding the lifecycle of servlet , in headfirst servlet i can find :

You normally will NOT override the service() method, so the one from HttpServlet will run. The service() method figures out which HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.) is in the request, and invokes the matching doGet() or doPost() method. The doGet() and doPost() inside HttpServlet don’t do anything, so you have to override one or both. This thread dies (or is put back in a Container-managed pool) when service() completes.

How can I call the doGet method of the subclass from the superclass. i am not getting this .

Declare Array Of Parent Class But Instantiate Index To Sub Class Using Polymorphism

Apr 14, 2015

I have a quick polymorphism question. I have a parent class and a sub class that extends the parent class. I then declare an array of parent class but instantiate an index to the sub class using polymorphism. Do I have to have all the same methods in the child class that I do in the parent class? Here is an example of what I mean.

public class ParentClass
{
public ParentClass(....){ }
public String doSomething(){ }
}
public class ChildClass extends ParentClass
{
public ChildClass(....)

[Code] ....

Is polymorphism similar to interfaces where the child class needs all the same methods?

Accessing Parent Class Method Using Child Class Object?

Feb 4, 2015

I want to know is there any way we can call parent class method using child class object without using super keyword in class B in the following program like we can do in c++ by using scoop resolution operator

class A{
public void hello(){
System.out.println("hello");
}
}
class B extends A{
public void hello(){
//super.hello();
System.out.println("hello1");

Creating New Constructor In Child Class Which Is Not In Parent Class

Feb 7, 2014

I've a parent class with a argument constructor like below(a sample code)

public class Parent {
Parent(String name) {
System.out.println(name);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
}
}

Also I've child.class which extends Parent.class as shown below,

public class child extends Parent {
child(String name) {
super(name);
}
}

Now, I want create/modify the constructor which is in child, by taking "int i" as an input instead of "String name". How can I do that? Run time I want to execute child constructor not a parent constructor.

Condition is: Without making any changes to the Parent class

Creating New Non-static Inner Class Outside Of Parent Class

Nov 22, 2014

I have an Abstract Class called GameColorEffect which contains a number of non-static Inner Classes that extend their Parent Class, GameColorEffect. I want to be able to create instances of the Inner Classes, however my IDE, eclipse, prompts me with the error:

No enclosing instance of type GameColorEffect is accessible. Must qualify the allocation with an enclosing instance of type GameColorEffect

And eclipse shows me a possible solution which is to turn the Inner Classes to static, this would allow me to create instances, but not really. This is because using methods from the static Inner Classes that change values in the Inner Classes will do this for every instance of the same Inner Class which is literally like a single instance. However, I want these Inner Classes to be individual with their values and still be able to use them outside as instances. I've found out a possible solution, which I'm not sure works like I want it to:

Java Code : GameColorEffect = new GameColorEffect.ExampleEffect(); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

However, this is in-compact because sometimes all I need is to use just a method like:

Java Code : new GameColorEffect.ExampleEffect(intensity).applyEffect() mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

And another solution that I already knew prior was that I could make the Inner Classes proper classes not inside of the GameColorEffect class, but this is also in-compact because I will have to have so many classes for the so many effects that I have.

Constructors In Class Hierarchy?

Feb 9, 2014

I remember reading that a super() call to parent no-argument constructor is automatically inserted by compiler. So, if i have a chained hierarchy of classes (starting at top, with Object), will there be a chain of super() calls, going from bottom to top in the chain ? Will a super() call be inserted in child, if i provide a no-argument constructor for this class ?

Write Constructors To MyStack Class

Jan 6, 2015

MyStack class have by default some fixed size of maximum elements, allow user of your class to specify in constructor what this maximum size is. Also add possibility to specify name of the stack in constructor. User can either create object without parameters, can specify only size or name, or both of them. And also override function toString(), that this code will print:

[stack1] 4 6 1
[stack2] empty
MyStack s1 = new MyStack("stack1");
MyStack s2 = new MyStack("stack2");
s1.push(4);
s1.push(6);
s1.push(1);
System.out.println(s1.toString());
System.out.println(s2.toString());

You will need in total 5 constractor: default constructor (new Stack())

1-parameter constructor precising maximum size of the stack (new Stack(10))

1-parameter constructor giving the stack name (new Stack("My Stack"))

2-parameter constructor giving the maximum size and the name of the stack (new Stack("My Stack", 10))

"copy" constructor (Stack s1=new Stack(); Stack s2=new Stack(s1);)

How To Split JFrame As Parent Class With ActionListener / ItemListener

Jan 29, 2014

I'm working on a program using GUI. My problem is that I'm reaching **1000 Line** and this is stressful because all my code are in one file. I'm not liking this. So I research the internet about Inheritance. However, what I know about Inheritance that Inherit everything in the parent class. However, when I try to use a variables in the child class to override it in the parent class I can't for example let say that I have in the parent class something like this:

JButton getButton = new JButton("Enter");

Now when I go to the child class. I want to Inherit and use this variable so I can use the ActionListener on the getButton and override for the parent class, but it's not working.

This is my code:
 
public class H_Store extends JFrame {
private String s ="Kinds: ";
private JButton calculateButton;
private JPanel mainPane;
private JPanel getProfitPanel;
private JTextField ground_M_QTextField;

[Code] ....

What I want to do exactly is to take the last code into another class or do something with it so I can use it in the Parent class, in other word any math calculation method or class I want them outside the Parent class. I mean this code :

private class CalcButtonListener implements ActionListener{ 
// vairbles for the ground Meat check box
private double total_GM;
private double weightPrice_1;
private String stringQ;
private String stringW;
private String stringP;

[Code] ....

Creating Instance Variables And Constructors For Map Class

Mar 27, 2014

I have to create an application that deals with maps.

I first have to create the instance variables for the class.

So very simply if my hashmap is going to consist of football clubs and players. Football clubs being a string value for the key and players being a set of strings for the values. How would I go about creating the instance variable in a class for this?

I can't seem to find anything that specifically deals with instance variables and constructors for maps.

Passing Object Argument To A Method - Unable To Call Methods On Argument

Feb 7, 2015

I am trying to pass an object of type Product p to my editProduct method, however trying to call p.getName(); doesn't work and throws a NullPointerException. The same kind of thing works for my displayRecord method (in a different class) and I can call .getName() on Product p, also passed as an argument to that method. Below is my editProduct class. The NullPointerExcepion is being thrown at line 61 (i.e., nameField.setText(p.getName());).

I don't know if I explained right, so here's a line thing of how the classes relate:

Search >>>(field.getText())>>> displayRecord(Product p) >>>editProduct(p)>>> EditProduct

And as a side note: adding the line p = new Product(); fixes it and successfully runs the class (including the Save and Quit parts) but obviously I want it to specifically refer to the Product I pass to the method.

Java Code:

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.FocusEvent;
import java.awt.event.FocusListener;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;

[Code] ....

I'm asking a question because I don't understand how Product p could possibly be null, because the argument is passed through my DisplayRecord class, which also takes a Product p argument and works. In that class, I have declared Product prod = p; and prod is what I am passing to editProduct.

Month Class With Constructors And Getter / Setter Methods To Access Attributes

Jul 22, 2014

Write a class Month that represents one of the twelve months of the year. It should have three attributes for

the name of the month,

the number of days in the month, and

the birthstone.

Also add constructors and getter/setter methods to access the attributes.

You may use the following code to test your class.

Java Code:

import java.util.*;
public class Month
{
// ADD CODE HERE!!!
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Month[] months = new Month[12];

[Code] ....

So what I have added so far is (under public class month { :)

Java Code:

String monthName, monthBirthStone;
int monthDays;
public Month (String name, int days, String birthstone)
{
monthName = name;
monthBirthStone=birthstone;
monthDays=days;
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

So I believe that is the constructor. I still do not understand several things:

What would I need the getter and setter for?

I tested it using just the above code, and using month 1 I got:

Month@5a1cfb56

This makes sense as I obviously didn't do anything in order to get it in a String format for the array. But I do not understand this still - how would I get the constructor to output a string (to then be in the array?)

Swing/AWT/SWT :: What Are Parent And Child Components

Aug 11, 2014

I keep hearing these two term when it comes to painting in Swing, however, I'm not sure which is which. To my understanding is that the child components are the ones that already exist on screen (could be a JButton, JFrame, or custom painting) . and the parent components are the one to be added/drawn next. (hence, if we override the paintChildren() method when painting, the components that were already on the screen don't appear any more).

Parent / Child Classes - Set And Get Method?

Jan 25, 2014

I have been working on a simple problem, but I am stuck. I am trying to learn parent and child classes and how they work. The program in broken into three classes; the DemoBook class that runs the various methods, the Book class that gathers information and displays it, and finally a child class of Book (called TextBook) that just gets one piece of data and then is suppossed to return that data back to Book. However, this is not working and I know I am missing something; I believe it has to do with Set and Get methods, but I am confused with how these work.

Java Code:

public class DemoBook
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
Book aBook = new Book();
Textbook aText = new Textbook();

Parent-Child Commenting Algorithm

Sep 11, 2014

I am creating a commenting system for a side project of mine I'm building using AnuglarJS for the front-end and Spring MVC for the backend.

I am having difficulty coming up with an algorithm that will populate each comment object with a list of the comments that are responses/children of it.

The below code is what I have so far. The problem is is that it duplicates comments.

public List<Comment> getComments(int id)
{
MapSqlParameterSource params = new MapSqlParameterSource();
params.addValue("id", id);
List<Comment> allComments = jdbc.query("select * from comments where debate_id=:id", params, new RowMapper<Comment>()

Two Classes With Identical Constructors?

Jun 3, 2014

Is it possible to combine two classes that I have defined to contain some of the same elements so that NetBeans stops giving me errors? I don't want to get rid of any necessary code, and if both classes are necessary, should I just rename one of them? One class is an ArrayList that I am using to write the information for employees entered to a text file "employee.txt." I also want users to be able to call on this information via employeeID in order to display employee information. The code is the following:

public ArrayList<Employee> getEmployees() {
// if the employees file has already been read, don't read it again
if (employees != null)
return employees;
employees = new ArrayList<>();
if (Files.exists(employeesPath)) // prevent the FileNotFoundException {

[code]....

The other class is a getEmployee class that I previously defined before attempting to read the information from the text file and display it in the console. It is as follows:

private void getEmployees() {
try {
// if the file doesn't exists, create it
if (!Files.exists(employeesPath))
Files.createFile(employeesPath);
BufferedReader in =
new BufferedReader(
new FileReader(employeesFile));

Passing Objects To Constructors?

Mar 20, 2014

We are learning about how to pass objects into constructors. In our class, we made this following code:

public class InventoryItem {
//fields
private String description;
private int units;
//Add New constructor
public InventoryItem(InventoryItem some_object) {
description=some_object.description;

[Code] .....

As you can see the object of the same class is passed as the argument. Inside the constructor, our teacher did

some_object.description

This constructor, from my understanding, copies the description field and unit field to an object to the new object of class. Meanwhile, here is the demo class.

public static void main(String[] args)
{
//Create object
InventoryItem item1;
item1=new InventoryItem("hammer",20);
 System.out.println("Item 1: ");

[Code] .....

Over here, my teacher uses :

.getDescription

My problem is that in the constructor of the first class I showed, why didn't he use

.getDescription

method instead of this

.description

May I know what is difference between these two. If I use .getdescription that would return the value of a field from that object too.

Repeating Constructors With Same And Different Parameters

May 26, 2014

So while experimenting with constructors, repeating constructors with the same parameters, and with different parameters. I got an output -explaining how I got it.

I made 2 classes. a "support class" (has all the info) and an "execute class" (executes info).

Support:

package inschool;
public class Constructors {
String video;
public Constructors() {
video = "frozen";

[Code] ....

Execute:

package inschool;
//this is part of Constructors class
public class App{
public static void main(String[] args){

[Code] ....

The Output:

the video name is frozen
Second constructor running
Constructor running!
the video name is frozen

Output Explanation:

constructor call number 1 and 3 are the same (essentially) and both refer to the same constructor.

My Question: if both call #1 and #3 refer to the same constructor, why is the output for #1 "the video name is frozen"

while the output for #3 used both methods in the accessed constructor-with the resulting output as
"Constructor running!"
and
"the video name is frozen"

I double checked the output-and this time made sure to scroll up ... its the same result
