>>Are you sure, would you be able to see their existence using reflection?
Not sure about the reflection thing, but read below.
BTW - im a java newbie :)
I made some modifications to Pete's example, which i think proves the
existance of the private fields and methods in inherited classes.
Basically a method from SubTester is running a private method and displaying
a private field. This is done through a protected method, which is not
really practical, but it does prove that the private method/fields exists in
the the inherited subclass, you just cant directly access them just like
"Java in a Nutshell" states.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Tester {
private int myInt = 1;
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
SubTester st = new SubTester();
st.doMethod();
}
private void testMethod(){
System.out.println("This is a private method returning a private var
" + myInt);
}
protected void method() {
System.out.println("Tester::method " + myInt);
testMethod();
}
}
class SubTester extends Tester {
public void doMethod() {
this.method();
}
protected void method() {
super.method();
System.out.println("SubTester::method");
}
}

Are you sure, would you be able to see their existence using reflection?
