Why is super.super.method(); not allowed in Java?
I have 3 classes they inherit from each other as follows:
A
↳
B
↳
C
Inside each class I have the following method:
protected void foo() {
...
}
Inside class C
I want to call foo
from class A
without calling foo
in B
:
protected void foo() {
// This doesn't work, I get the following compile time error:
// Constructor call must be the first statement in a constructor
super().super().foo();
}
EDIT
Some Context Info:
Class B is an actual class we use. Class C is a unit test class, it has some modifications. foo
method inside B
does some things we don't want so we override it inside C
. However foo
in class A
is useful and needs to be called.
