java不可视,Java中，不能减少的对象继承方法的可见性

I need to create class B that is almost identical to class A, except that B cannot do certain things that A can.

Being a lazy programmer as I am, I tried to inherit A, only to greet with error that B cannot reduce the visibility of A methods. Duh!..

Now A is an API from a vendor, my intention is to encapsulate this API so that it is easier to use.

I wonder what is the best practice to work around this?

Two options:

If you need B to keep the same interface as A (so that client code can use any of the two without changes), you can override "forbidden" methods in B and have them throw an UnsupportedOperationException. For example:

public class A

{

public int allowedMethod() { ... }

public int forbiddenMethod() { ... }

}

public class B extends A

{

public int forbiddenMethod()

{

throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Sorry, not allowed.");

}

}

Or, if you really want the API of B to be a subset of the API of A, then just have B contain an instance of A, and delegate method calls appropriately.

public class A

{

public int allowedMethod() { ... }

public int forbiddenMethod() { ... }

}

public class B

{

private A a;

public int allowedMethod()

{

return a.allowedMethod();

}

}
