My post lost..so once again ques from K&B(local class)

[Amit Das]

hi all,

K&B Ch 8(Inner Classes page 466)

But even after the method completes,
the inner class object created within it might still be alive on the heap if, for
example, a reference to it was passed into some other code and then stored in an
instance variable

how do we do this. I tried to do sth like this:

  
class MyOuter2 {
private String x = "'2'";
static MyOuter2 ch = new MyOuter2();
 
void doStuff() {
//method-local inner class
class MyInner {
public void seeOuter() {
System.out.println("Outer x is " + x);
}
}
 
this.check(new MyInner() { //argument-local anonymous class
public synchronized void seeOuter() {
System.out.println("u got to get t");
}
});
}
 
public static void main(String[] args) {
ch.doStuff();
}
 
void check(Object mi) {
//MyInner min = (MyInner)mi; //gives compilatn error
   //the scope of the class MyInner
   //is limited within the body of
   //the method doStuff()
System.out.println(mi.getClass().getName()); //MyOuter2$1  ??????
System.out.println(mi.getClass().getSuperclass().getName());  //MyOuter2$1MyInner
 
}
}

how is it possible to have an object of rutime-type object as that of the inner class or may be its extension as in the case mentioned above???

also i'm not able to understand the o/p of this line:
System.out.println(mi.getClass().getName()); //MyOuter2$1 ???

why i'm not geeting anything like MyInner$1???

and since i'm catching the argument-local anonymous class, polymorphically as type Object, how can we say that the oject created inside the method outlives the method invocation???

plz help me out??

thanx
amit

is there anyone who can help me out..???

I can see it as
1) this here used to invoke check is seen as a MyOuter because of ch being invoked as an object of MyOuter.
I hope this answers part 1
