extending inner class

[Shakti Sharma]

I am extending inner class in other inner sub class class but enclosing class of the inner subclass is not a subclass of Outer and i am passing explicit reference to an object of Outer to a constructor of Inner subclass. Problem is my member variables of inner subclass are not getting initialized and also initialization block is not executed even though object of inner subclass class is created successfully
Can any one tell me what is wrong in this code
code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public class outer {
public class inner {
}
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
public class eouter {
public class iinner extends outer.inner {
int z= 10;
{System.out.println("I am called");}
public iinner(outer out) {
out.super();
} }public static void main(String args[]) {outer out = new outer();eouter eout = new eouter();iinner inn = eout.new iinner(out);System.out.println("z = " + inn.z);}}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am expecting out put like
I am called
z = 10
but i am getting
z = 0
only

Shakti,
I'm getting what you expected.
I'm called.
z=10
I'm using Java1.2

Hi,
I tried your code and is giving the output you expected!!!
Here it is :
class outer {
public class inner { }
}

public class eouter {
public class iinner extends outer.inner {
int z= 10;
{
System.out.println("I am called");
}

public iinner(outer out)
{
out.super();
}
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
outer out = new outer();
eouter eout = new eouter();
iinner inn = eout.new iinner(out);
System.out.println("z = " + inn.z);
}
}
"I am called"
z=10
