Constructors with var-args?

[Neha Bhattad]

Can a constructor with var-args be used when a no-arg constructor is needed?

Will this work for all cases like when in deserialization the superclass(not implementing serialization) should have no-arg constructor?

Thanks...

class a
{
a(int ...x)
{
System.out.printf("%s","in var arg consturctor");
}
}
class NewClass extends a{

/** Creates a new instance of NewClass */

NewClass()
{
super();


}
public static void main(String s[])
{
new NewClass();
}


}
//it works

Howdy,

can you show a situation where a no-arg constructor is needed?

Prahlad's example is just the other way round.

I was mainly thinking about deserialization:
in deserialization the superclass(not implementing serialization) should have no-arg constructor else the readObject throws runtime exception.
What if the superclass has a no-arg constructor? Does it fit the bill?

The best way perhaps is to try it out...
