java抽象类的字段,Java抽象类字段重写

I have an abstract class that should implement a public field, this field is an interface or another abstract classe.

something like this:

public abstract class GenericContainer {

public GenericChild child;

}

public abstract class GenericChild {

public int prop1=1;

}

public abstract class SpecialChild extend GenericChild {

public int prop1=2;

}

Now i have another specialized class Container:

public abstract class SpecialContainer extends GenericContainer {

public SpecialChild child=new SpecialChild(); //PAY ATTENTION HERE!

}

Java allow me to compile this, and i IMAGINE that the field child in SpecialContainer is automatically overloading the field child of the GenericContainer...

The questions are:

Am i right on this? The automatic 'overloading' of child will happen?

And, more important question, if i have another class like this:

public class ExternalClass {

public GenericContainer container=new SpecialContainer();

public int test() {

return container.child.prop1

}

}

test() will return 1 or 2? i mean the GenericContainer container field what prop1 will call, the generic or the special?

And what if the special prop1 was declared as String (yes java allow me to compile also in this case)?

Thanks!

It isn't overriding anything, you're just hiding the original field at the current class scope. If you use a variable with the subtype you will still be able to access the original property. Example:

abstract class GenericContainer {

public GenericChild child;

}

abstract class GenericChild {

public int prop1=1 ;

}

class SpecialChild extends GenericChild {

public int prop1=2;

}

class SpecialContainer extends GenericContainer {

public SpecialChild child;

}

public class Main {

public static void main( String ... args ) {

GenericContainer container = new SpecialContainer();

container.child = new SpecialChild();

System.out.println( container.child.prop1 );

SpecialChild child = (SpecialChild) container.child;

System.out.println( child.prop1 );

}

}

This prints 1 and then 2.

From SpecialChild you would also be able to go up one level using super:

class SpecialChild extends GenericChild {

public int prop1=2;

public int getOriginalProp1() {

return super.prop1;

}

}
