If the class is in a different package, you'll have to import the class into your source file, using the keyword import.

I have done with all the imports,setting classpaths all the necessary things but invain......the problem is constructor not visible.............

[Deepak Chopra]

Did you check ..may be the class is abstract..!!
can you tell us what is the exact error you are getting..!!
paste the same error here..!!

[Arun Kumar Gaddam]

Exact error is.............

Constructor InboundMessage(MessageTypes,String,int) is not visible

[Campbell Ritchie]

Please post a bit of your code with the imports, class heading, the bit which isn't working, and the constructor and class heading for the InboundMessage class.

Also, since you said you have the code for the class you're trying to instantiate, it probably wouldn't hurt to have a look at that - at least the constructors that are not visible.

[Petrus Pelser]

Have you checked if maybe the class contains a static method for retrieving an instance? Something like getInstance(), or getInboundMessage(), etc.

[Arun Kumar Gaddam]

public class InboundNotification implements IInboundMessageNotification{
public void process(String gatewayId, MessageTypes msgType, String memLoc, int memIndex){
List msgList;
InboundMessage inMsg= new InboundMessage(msgType, memIndex, memLoc);

This is my code........

 

public InboundMessage(MessageTypes type, int memIndex, String memLocation)
{
super(type, null, null);
this.originator = "";
this.memIndex = memIndex;
this.memLocation = memLocation;
mpRefNo = 0;
mpMaxNo = 0;
mpSeqNo = 0;
mpMemIndex = "";
}

And this is the construtors code..........

[Paul Sturrock]

super(type, null, null)

The exception message is telling you that the constructor you call here is not visible, i.e. it is private or has package visibility. Are you sure the source you looked at is the source you are calling?

Because you pass null arguments, are you sure you are calling the constructor you think you are?
