java 静态 继承,在Java中继承静态变量

I want to have the following setup:

abstract class Parent {

public static String ACONSTANT; // I'd use abstract here if it was allowed

// Other stuff follows

}

class Child extends Parent {

public static String ACONSTANT = "some value";

// etc

}

Is this possible in java? How? I'd rather not use instance variables/methods if I can avoid it.

Thanks!

EDIT:

The constant is the name of a database table. Each child object is a mini ORM.

you can't do it exactly as you want. Perhaps an acceptable compromise would be:

abstract class Parent {

public abstract String getACONSTANT();

}

class Child extends Parent {

public static final String ACONSTANT = "some value";

public String getACONSTANT() { return ACONSTANT; }

}
