Accessing the base class methods in child class.

[shan raj]

Hi,

Below is the code snippet. I want to call the func1() of class A in class C. if I use super.func1(), the class B method will be called. But I want to call func1() of class A. Can any one tell me how to call the func1() in class C in proper way.

class A {
   public void func1() {
      System.out.println("A- func1");
   }
}
class B extends A{
   public void func1() {
      System.out.println("B- func1");
   }
}  
class C extends B {
   public void func1() {
 // I want to call func1() of class A.
   }
}

new A(). func1();

There is already a discussion about that. Check Invoke Grand-Parent Method

Good idea to quote that discussion. I seem to remember that thread also says such coding would be bad design.
