Must be a JDK version problem

Posted by Kishori Sharan on December 08, 2000 at 8:59 AM

Hi Chris
There is no problem with your inner class and its constructor declaring them protected. If it is giving error then it must be a version problem. I am running java v1.3 . Please check your JDK version and I am sure it is prior to v1.3.
I tested the following code C.java and it works fine on my machine.
Thanx
Kishori

///////////////// C.java
class A {
protected class B {
protected String s ;
protected boolean b ;
protected B (String s, boolean b) {
this.s = s ;
this.b = b ;
}
public void msg ( ) {
System.out.println ( "String = " + s + " Boolean = " + b ) ;
}

}
}

public class C extends A {

public void f( String s, boolean b ) {
B b1 = new B( s, b );
b1.msg ( ) ;
}

public static void main ( String[] args ) {
new C ( ).f ( "hello", true ) ;

}

}
