In Java, how do I call a base class's method from the overriding method in a derived class?

Question

I have two Java classes: B, which extends another class A, as follows :

class A {
    public void myMethod() { /* ... */ }
}

class B extends A {
    public

I am pretty sure that you can do it using Java Reflection mechanism. It is not as straightforward as using super but it gives you more power.

class A
{
    public void myMethod()
    { /* ... */ }
}

class B extends A
{
    public void myMethod()
    {
        super.myMethod(); // calling parent method
    }
}
