Inheriting From Instantiated Object
Dec 1, 2014
I have a Member class and a Player class. Players extends Members. I know that player will have all the methods of Member but I was wondering how I could link a player object directly to a member object.
public class Member(){
String name,surname;
public Member(String name, String surname){
this.name = name;
this.surname = surname;
[Code] ....
What im looking for is the p1.getName() to return John. Can I do something within the Player class for it to inherit from a Member object...

I am being told to (assignment) create a new Bread Object in another class than the original. But after that it is asking for get and set methods. Get and set methods of what? It's parameters?
class Bread
{
private static String breadType; //private field to hold bread type
private static int numberOfCaloriesPerSlice; //private field to hold calories per slice
public static String getBreadType() //get method
{
return breadType;
[code]....

My teacher told me : It looks like everything is working except that in the Box, the method returns true if it is not a box.
The only other thing missing is the if statements in the main method using the .equals() method to do the comparisons. But, now I am lost on how to do my if statement.
HTML Code:
private int height;
/**
* Constructor for objects of class box
*/
public Box3(int l, int w, int h)
{
// call superclass
super(l, w);
// initialise instance variables
height = h;
[Code] ....

Interfaces are 100 % abstract classes.They cannot be instantiated.Their sole purpose is to be implemented.So why does the following code works just fine while it is attempting to instantiate an interface.
interface TestA { String toString(); }
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(new TestA() {
public String toString() { return "test"; }});
}
}

I have a JSF bean which is request scope and corresponding JSF UI page. when user tries to open this page, we are getting exception 'Cannot instantiate user.java class <default constructor>'. This does not come always. It comes very rarely. JSF version is 1.2

Let's say I have a Junit4 class FooTest.java and variable token. At some point in class the token gets instantiated.
Java Code:
public class Foo {
private String token;
@Before
public void setUp() {
// serious is steps to get the application to a certain state where token can get extracted
....
token = extractToken();
}
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
Now I have another class User.java where I need to use this token. Can I inject this token somehow into that class? There is no relation between Foo and User. I can't use Provider method in the configure file because extraction of the token depends on certain system's state and can't be called anywhere anytime.

I am working on a project involving a class that has the attributes of one of its inner classes. Now, if possible, I would like to make it so that the inner class is not visible outside of the class. Also, some of the functional mechanics require that the class be an instance of the nested inner class (it extends the inner class). The following code snippet demonstrates the situation.
public class A extends A.B {
public static class B { //ideally I would like this to be private/protected.
}
}
When I try to compile this program, I get the error message "Cyclical inheritance involving A." This error does not make much sense because, since the inner class "B" is static, it requires no instance of "A" (it does not inherit from "A" or uses it). My question is "Is it possible to do something similar to this structure?" I have searched many forums in search of the answer but have not found anything that attempts to explain it. The closest problem that I have found is one relating to the inheritance of a nested inner class from another class. I would like to express that the problem that I am having involves a class defined within the inheriting class.

Create an equals method that takes an object reference and returns true if the given object equals this object.
Hint: You'll need 'instanceof' and cast to a (Geocache)
So far I have:
public boolean equals(Object O){
if(O instanceof Geocache){
Geocache j=(Geocache) O;
if (this.equals(j)) //I know this is wrong... but I can't figure it out
return true;
}
else return false;
}
I think I have it correct up to the casting but I don't understand what I'm suppose to do with the this.equals(). Also I'm getting an error that I'm not returning a boolean... I get this all the time in other problems. I don't get why since I have to instances of returning booleans in this. "returns true if the given object equals this object" makes no sense to me. I assume the given object, in my case, is 'O'. What is 'this' object referring to?

I am new to Java and have read books, the Java docs, and searched the Internet for my problem to no avail. I have an Array of objects that contains strings. How can I get the object's strings to print in a list so that the user can select that object to manipulate its attributes? For example, the user can select "Guitar 1" from a list and manipulate its attributes like tuning it, playing it, etc. I have a class called Instruments and created 10 guitar objects.Here is the code:
Instrument [] guitar = new Instrument[10];
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
guitar[0] = new Instrument("Guitar 1");
guitar[1] = new Instrument("Guitar 2");
guitar[2] = new Instrument("Guitar 3");
guitar[3] = new Instrument("Guitar 4");
guitar[4] = new Instrument("Guitar 5");
guitar[5] = new Instrument("Guitar 6");

For example I create an object like this:
BankAccount b = new SavingsAccount();
Now lets say that I want to access a method 'addInterest()' that is in the 'SavingsAccount' class I would have to do: '((SavingsAccount)s).addInterest();'
The question I have is why do I have to cast 'b' to SavingsAccount? Isn't the actual object reference of 'b' already an instance of 'SavingsAccount' class? How does the 'BankAccount' affect the object itself? I'm really confused as to what class is truly getting instantiated and how BankAccount and SavingsAccount are both functioning to make the object 'b'.

I don't understand why the object reference variable 'a' cannot be recast from a thisA object reference to a thisB object reference.Is it the case that once a reference variable is linked to a particular object type then it cannot switch object types later on.I am facing the Java Associate Developer exam soon and I am just clearing up some issues in my head around object reference variable assignment,
class thisA {}
class thisB extends thisA { String testString = "test";}
public class CastQuestion2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
thisA a = new thisA();
thisB b = new thisB();

I am trying to get this to where I can type in a name and it will search through each object and print back the corresponding object info.
Java Code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MyPeople {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Person[] p = new Person[] {
new Person("Chris", 26, "Male", "NJ", "Single"),
new Person("JoAnna", 23, "Female", "NJ", "Single"),
new Person("Dana", 24, "Female", "NJ", "Single"),
new Person("Dan", 25, "Male", "NJ", "Single"),
new Person("Mike", 31, "Male", "NJ", "Married") };

Task:The main method of the class Things below creates an object called printer deriving from the class PrintingClass and uses that object to print text. Your task is to write the PrintingClass class.
Program to complete:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Things {
public static void main(String args[]) {
String characterString;
Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
PrintingClass printer = new PrintingClass();
System.out.print("Type in the character string for printing: ");
characterString = reader.nextLine();
printer.Print(characterString);
}
}
// Write the missing class here
Note: In this exercise the solution is part of a conversion unit where many classes have been declared. Because of this the classes are not declared as public using the public attribute.
Example output
Type in the character string for printing: John Doe
John Doe
My Class:
class PrintingClass {
public void print(){
System.out.println(characterString);
}
}

If I set a Jlist to contain an array of objects, how can I display properties of each object instead of the object array list itself. Ex:
Instead of:
Person1
Person2
Person3
display values such as each person name within the Jlist:
Mike
Paul
Andrew

I have just started working with linked lists. I have a linked list of Objects and I want to be able to search for a specific object. But currently my code continues to return false. Also how would I go about removing the first index of the linked list.

LinkedList<Cookies> ml = new LinkedList<>();
int choice = 0;
while (choice >= 0) {
choice = menu();

I am reading Head First: Java and got to Object References. In the book I got a little bit confused on what happens when two object reference's point at the same object so I wrote a small crude test, the below code. This of course clarified what happens but what I am interested in knowing is in what circumstances would you want to have two separate references for the same object when you could just use the original? Eg. v1
class ObjectValue{
int objVal = 1;
}
class ObjectValueTestDrive{
public static void main(String [] args){
// "Value of v# should be" refers to if it copied the given object values, instead of referencing the same object
ObjectValue v1 = new ObjectValue();
System.out.println("Value of v1 should be 1:" + " "+ v1.objVal);
[code]....

Explain anonymous objects with example clearly...i read some where anonymous objects advantage is saving memory...it is benificiable when there is only one time object usage in our program..i can't understand one time usage of object ....i know anonymous objects but i don't know in which context we use them in our programs...i did the anonymous object program with my own example but i can't differentiate this one with normal object..i'm providing my own example below
//anonymous object
public class anonymous {
int x=10;
int y=25;
void display()
{
System.out.println("anomymous");

What I want to do is have a label that is updated whenever an object gets some new, relevant data.The way you do it in Java looks different from the way we do it in Objective-C. In Objective-C, we have what's known as a protocol. An Objective-C protocol is almost exactly like a Java "implementation." In Obj-C, if I want the user to see the address of where he is, I can have an object that gets the information and invokes a view controller's method; at that point, the view controller would then take the data passed to it and display the data in a label. However, the view controller is an instance of a subclass of the bundled view controller class.

I am trying to find either some references to point me on the right track with passing an object with all of it's properties still in tact after it's been created. Currently I am trying to do this through an interface but it seems to just create a new object everytime without the properties. Example below :
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public interface TPerson{
//public Person p = null;
}
class Thrower {
Person p;
[code]....
When I implement the interface on the other objects as soon as I call the setP method shown above it seems to just create a new one even though I pass the object to the method I want to use.

I've been trying to learn Java for the last 36 hours or so (after applying for a HTML/CSS job saying "Java knowledge preferred"), and decided to experiment a bit making a graphical tic-tac-toe game. I eventually managed to get that done and it's working. Working code below:
[Java] tic tac toe 1 - Pastebin
So, it works to an extent, however, the way I am capturing which cell is selected seems very sloppy, and would not work if the cells weren't squares or rectangles. So I made a copy of the project and restructured it adding the mouse event to the cells, but now I can't get JComponent to repaint. New code below:
tic tac toe 2 - Pastebin
Curiously, clicking triggers the action for all 9 cells, but I presume it's because I haven't bounded them making it think I've clicked all 9 simultaneously.
What I've tried:
Make the Cell class extend the game class and call this.repaint()- causes stack overflow.
Calling Game.GameState() within the cell clicking event and making that function static - compiler doesn't like calling repaint() inside a static function.
Making another class to make a clone of the Game object and then refresh- was never going to work....

I have a value object class and it has the below member
XMLDocument request = null;
Should I instantiate it in the VO class as
XMLDocument request = new XMLDocument();
or leave it null and let the calling program instantiate it?
What's the proper way to do it for Value Object classes in java ?

I have stumbled onto a problem with ArrayLists (not sure if nested ArrayList objects would be a more accurate description) ....
As simply put as I can describe it, I have an Inventory class which creates an ArrayList of a Product superclass, which has two subclasses, PerishableProduct and ItemisedProduct.
By default, the program is meant to have a starting inventory, which is why I have added them in the constructor
public class Inventory {
private List<Product> products;
public Inventory() {
addProduct(new Product("Frying pan", 15, 20));
addProduct(new PerishableProduct("Apple", 5.8, 30, 7));
addProduct(new ItemisedProduct("Cereal", 5.8, 0));
// this is where I am having problems. Wanting to add
// objects to the ItemisedProduct's ArrayList for cereal.
}
Within the ItemisedProduct subclass is yet another ArrayList which is meant to hold serial numbers.
public class ItemisedProduct extends Product {
private ArrayList<String> serialNumbers = new ArrayList();
public ItemisedProduct(String name, double price, int qty) {
super(name, price, qty)
[Code] .....
My problem is that I do not know how to populate the serialNumbers ArrayList from the Inventory class' constructor. Because technically, quantity is defined by how many serial numbers are created.

Suppose you have a generic Dog class of the pet type that implements a DogInterface of the pet type. What is the difference between;
DogInterface<pet> Rex = new Dog<pet>();
and
Dog<pet> Tye = new Dog<pet>();
In what situations might you want to use Rex instead of Tye?
