access-modifiers

I know it is not a best practice to use Static method in Abstract class, but what is the difference If I use both Static and non static method in abstract class. I am assuming there is no difference in calling these methods, because we can't create instance for Abstract Class so we can call both Static and Non-static method using class name only. Is there any other difference between them apart from the keyword 'Static'? Ex: Abstract Class: abstract public class AbstractClass { #region Constructor protected AbstractClass(Args args): this(args) { } #endregion #region public static methods

I'm learning Java, and the book I'm reading has the following example on cloning. In clone() , my first instance is able to set buffer on the new object even though buffer is private . It seems like it should require the field to be protected for this to work. Why is this allowed? Does clone() have special privileges that allows it to access the private fields? public class IntegerStack implements Cloneable { private int[] buffer; private int top; // ... code omitted ... @Override public IntegerStack clone() { try{ IntegerStack nObj = (IntegerStack) super.clone(); nObj.buffer = buffer.clone();

Ok, so this is really wierd. I have a private member, and I want to use it into Form2. I've made a public static method, so that I can get that member into Form2. Here is my code: private static AppController appController; private BreadRepository breadRep; private CakeRepository cakeRep; private SandwichRepository sandwichRep; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); breadRep = new BreadRepository(); cakeRep = new CakeRepository(); sandwichRep = new SandwichRepository(); appController = new AppController(breadRep , sandwichRep, cakeRep); } public static AppController getController() { return

Here is a simple example of some code that compiles using Java 6, but does not compile in Java 7. public class Test<T extends Test> { private final int _myVar; public Test(int myVar) { _myVar = myVar; } public int get(TestContainer<T> container){ T t = container.get(); return t._myVar; } private static class TestContainer<T extends Test> { private final T _test; private TestContainer(T test) { _test = test; } public T get(){ return _test; } } } In Java 7, it fails to compile in the get(TestContainer<T> container) method, with the error: error: _myVar has private access in Test I don't

Not sure why Access Modifier drop down is disabled for a Resource file. alt text http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/9157/accessmodifier.png Here are file properties: alt text http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/3930/resxprop.png If possible, change your Custom Tool back to the default "ResXFileCodeGenerator". I tried changing a default web app project to use "GlobalResourceProxyGenerator" and it caused the Access Modifier drop down to disable. diepnguyenv Right click on your file resource, choose Properties ( Alt+Enter ) Change Build Action to Embedded Resource Change Custom Tool to
