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..
