How to call a different constructor conditionally in Java?

Question

Let\'s say someone gives you a class, Super, with the following constructors:

public class Super
{
    public Super();
    public Super(int arg)         


        

Answer 1

Yeah, what @Johan Sjöberg said.

Also looks like your example is highly contrived. There's no magical answer which would clear this mess :)

Usually, if you have such a bunch of constructors it would be a good idea to refactor them as four separate classes (a class should be only responsible for one type of thing).
