Is Constructor Overriding Possible?

Question

What i know is, the compiler writes a default no argument constructor in the byte code. But if we write it ourselves, that constructor is called automatically. Is this pheno

Answer 1

Cannot override constructor. Constructor can be regarded as static, subclass cannot override its super constructor.

Of course, you could call protected-method in super class constructor, then overide it in subclass to change super class constructor. However, many persons suggest not to use the trick, in order to protect super class constructor behavior. For instance, FindBugs will warn you that a constructor calls a non-final method.
