Message:

An inner class inherit another inner class

Posted by MaBo on October 24, 2000 at 1:59 AM

Hi,all
I got a problem on Java inner class inheritation.See,
public class A
{
public class InnerInA
{
public InnerInA(X x)
{...}
}

public A()
{sth valueble...}
}
public class B extends A
{ A parent = null;

public class InnerInB entends A.InnerInA
{
InnerInB(X x)
{ //must get a ref of the outer class of InnerInA
parent.super(x);
}
}
public B()
{
super();
parent=new A();
}
}
Is it correct? if it's not,what's wrong? if you think it's correct,why can't I compile it? what I get are:1 you should use "this" (this.parent.super(x)in constructor of InnerInB)2.cannot parse this sentence. I use JDK 1.3.
Thank you in advance.

yours MaBo
