I want to set a field in a constructor before super is called so that the super constructor can use the field, e.g.:
| abstract class Base { | Base() { System.out.println( getField() ); } | abstract int getField(); | } | | class Derived extends Base { | int field; | Derived() { | field = 1; | super(); | } | int getField() { return field; } | } | The above isn't valid Java (the call to super must be the first line of constructor Derived) and it is also not valid in Javassist. Is there a way round this in Javassist? Note: this setting of a field before calling super is similar to how instance inner (nested) classes work, they set the field that points to their outer class before calling their own super constructor.
