Polymorphism Possible Only When Superclass Is Abstract?
Jan 23, 2014I've a question regarding polymorphism.
Is polymorphism possible only when the superclass is abstract?

Changing Superclass Parameters?
Jul 16, 2014My understanding was I could override a method from the superclass, including with different parameters, but when I try to use super. it gives me an error the arguments have to match the superclass. But, if I do that it won't make any sense.
The first code below is the superclass. The issue I'm having is on the second code at lines 7 and 10. The ultimate goal is to make a new class where I'm able to display various packages with or without insurance.
public class Package {
double shippingWeight;
public char shippingMethod;
final char air = 'A';
final char truck = 'T';
final char mail = 'M';
double shippingCost;

How To Get Superclass To Acknowledge Both Of Subclass Methods
Mar 14, 2015I am trying to display the getCommands() method from my subclasses but I do not know how to cast them both. At the moment I can only display one animals getCommands() method.
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Pet [] pet = new Pet[5];
pet[0] = new Dog("Scamp", 1, "run");
pet[1] = new Dog("Molly", 2, "fetch");
pet[2] = new Dog("Rover", 3, "dig");

Superclass Variables - Subclass Access
Apr 13, 2015So far I thought that setting superclass member variables as protected would allow the subclasses to access them using this. and that this was a good approach. However now after further reading am finding that actually these variables are better set as private and then accessed by the subclasses using public method (getters and setters) or constructor.
So my question is do you recommend setting them as private instead of protected and what would be the best way to access these variables from the subclasses ?
Variable From Superclass Using In JFrame Class?
Oct 9, 2014I would like to pass a variable I have in my main to my JFrame. In my main I calculate which pictures I should show in my JFrame. Is it possible to make objects of these pictures in my main class and use them in my JFrame? something like my code below.
public class JFrameTesting {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Image ImageVariable = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("C:1.jpg");
MyJFrame f = new MyJFrame();
f.setTitle("Drawing Graphics in Frames");

JavaFX 2.0 :: FXML Binding On Superclass
May 14, 2014I'm using binding into fxml:
<Button fx:id="btnSalva" defaultButton="true" mnemonicParsing="false" disable="${controller.busy}"
onAction="#salva" prefHeight="57.0" prefWidth="141.0" styleClass="text-bold" text="Salva" />
Controller is my controller that extends another class from which it inherits busy property.
I see that fxmlloader only looks into the bottom class and not in superclasses, don't know if it's voluntarily or a bug.

View Replies View RelatedPolymorphism - Which Method Gets Called
Jan 29, 2015While studying polymorphism , i have some doubts that i am unable to clarify ..... Here they are :
Suppose our inheritance ladder be :
C1 <- C2 <- C3 <-....... <- C100
where C1 is most general (superclass) and C100 is most specific class .
Now , if i write java code in my main() :
C21 Obj = new C100();
Obj.someMethod();
So, what will happen in scenarios as given below :
Scenario - 1) If someMethod() is only defined in C1 ? How will compiler search for this someMethod() ?Will it be executed ?
Scenario - 2) If that someMethod() is static and only defined in C1 , then how will it be searched and executed ?
Scenario - 3) If someMethod() is only present in C100 , then what will happen ?
Effect Of Hiding In Polymorphism
Aug 25, 2014I have difficulty understanding the following behaviour.
class A {
public String string = "a";
public String toString() {
return string;
}
}
class B extends A {
[code]...
The output of the program is 'c'. This is expexted behaviour. But if class B is changed as follows,
class B extends A {
public String string = "b";
}
Now the program prints 'a' instead of 'c'. Why the statement: b.string = "c"; is not taken into account?
Array With Objects And Polymorphism
Sep 18, 2014I have a program I want to make (text based, no gui). There is the main class, an Employee class (sort of a template), a CrewMember class, and a Manager class.
I'll put the code for each class an explain the problem I have.
package polymorphism;
import java.util.Random;
public class Start {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Random rand = new Random();
Employee staff[] = new Employee[5];
for(int i = 0; i < staff.length; i++){
[Code] ....
Some of the code is a bit incomplete simply because I ran into the problem. As you can see I made an array in the Start class and it holds objects of Employee type, but create a new instance of either a crew member or a manager, sets their wages, hours, and bonus if applicable. I know if I create an array of a certain type, I can't call upon the subclass' method (Manager in this case) because it has a new method that I added. What I'm trying to do is pretty much call upon the getSalary() method in the Manager class/object, but of course I can't. What way would i be able to do that? I tried looking for some answers. I read about making the superclass abstract and implementing it into the subclasses. Would that be an option?

View Replies View RelatedHiding Unsafe Methods Through Polymorphism
Feb 17, 2015Recently I have been thinking of using additional interfaces in one of my libraries to hide certain "unsafe" methods of my classes from the user. I would like to get the opinion of other, more advanced java programmers on this issue.
What I do is something like the following (heavily simplified):
public interface ReadOnly {
public int getValue();
}
public interface ReadWrite extends ReadOnly {
public void setValue(int value);
[Code] ....
The user would have access to the ExternalInterface. The ExternalInterface is controlling the values of the InternalComponent. The user can get the InternalComponent, but typecasted to a ReadOnly which does not expose the setters.
Now the thing is the user can still access the setValue method by typecasting the ReadOnly to an InternalComponent or to a ReadWrite, and that is not bad. If the user knows exactly what he/she is doing this will give him/her more flexibility and more power. But this way it *should* become obvious that this is not the intended use and perhaps the extra work of typecasting will discourage the user from doing this.

Polymorphism / Dynamic Binding - Invoking Wrong Method
Jan 9, 2014Why is the equals-method in the super-class invoked? Shouldn't the equals-method in the sub-class be invoked(at least in the first if-statement since b2 is a B(i know B is also an A))?Is the equals-method overridden? Or does B have its own equals-method?
class SomeClass{
public static void main(String[] args) {
B b1 = new B(123,1);
B b2 = new B(123,2);

Declare Array Of Parent Class But Instantiate Index To Sub Class Using Polymorphism
Apr 14, 2015I 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?

Abstract Method With No Implementation
Mar 6, 2014An abstract method is a method with no implementation. So would like to know what is the purpose of calling it if there is no implementation?
View Replies View RelatedAbstract Classes And Interfaces
Mar 29, 2014 I did research again....
interface:
methods - abstract, default, static ONLY(abstract methods have no body, while static and defaults do, right?)
fields - public, static, final ONLY
abstract class: a normal class, but has at least one abstract method
methods - all
i.e., static, non-static, abstract (can it have a default method?)
fields - all
i.e., public, protected, private / final, non-final / static, non-static
