in response to Jan...
but how would u still stop the an instance of the child class
Sub from calling the inherited m1() method?
i am not sure the original question is a valid one in the first place? how is
it possible that a method declared public/protected by a parent class be NOT
accessible by child class?
this would throw the entire concept of inheritance out of the window?
Anil, are you sure u have got ur requirements correctly mapped?
best,
-Piyush

As far as I know, there is no (direct) way. But you can use
"delegation" for it:
public interface CommonMethods {
public int m1(int a);
}
public class CommonMethodsImpl implements CommonMethods {
public int m1(int a) {
// Implementation goes here
return a;
}
}
public class Super implements CommonMethods {
// for delegation
private CommonMethods cm = new CommonMethodsImpl();
// the delegation
public int m1(int a) {
return cm.m1(a);
}
}
public class Sub extends CommonMethods {
// normal implementation
}
