Subject: Re: possible idiot
question
thanks very much for you reply, but i think that is
what i have done with the declaration...
package com.wrox.library;
in
both of the classes, as i understand it a package is euphanism for directory,
would that be correct.
as
you will gather this is a wrox tut
i
have pasted the code below for anyone who is interested:
initial class:
*******************************************************
package com.wrox.library;
public class Book {
private String
title;
public String getTitle()
{
return
title;
}
public void setTitle (String title)
{
this.title =
title;
}
/** Creates new Book: Constructor */
public Book ()
{
}
public
Book (String title) {
this.title =
title;
}
}
*******************************************************
extension class:
*******************************************************
package com.wrox.library;
public class ChildrensBook extends Book
{
private int
minimumAge;
public int
getMinimumAge() {
return
minimumAge;
}
public void setMinimumAge(int a)
{
minimumAge =
a;
}
public
ChildrensBook() {
super();
}
public ChildrensBook(String title)
{
super(title);
}
}
*******************************************************
once
again thanks to anyone who is willing to assist me...

question
i am trying to
get my head around class inheritance and have followed some tuts,
however....
having created
a simple class, and then creating a subclass, extending the first, i keep
getting
Class Book not found
in type declaration or import...
when i try to
compile it, they are both sitting in the same package.... pls help!! this
is giving me a headache.
i am currently
running Sun's Forte IDE with JDK1.3.1 and serving it up with Tomcat
4.0
forte suggests
that i have an invalid package declaration but i can find no documentation
on how to rectify this, and am baffled as i have followed the tuts to
the letter and nothing seems out of kilter.
any help will
be gratefully recieved...
cheers..
