abstract class with constructor code example
Example 1: abstract class vs interface
Interfaces specify what a class must do and not how.
It is the blueprint of the class.
It is used to achieve total abstraction.
We are using implements keyword for interface.
Abstract=
Sometimes we may come across a situation
where we cannot provide implementation to
all the methods in a class. We want to leave the
implementation to a class that extends it.
In that case we declare a class
as abstract by using abstract keyword on method
signature.In my framework I have created my
PageBase class as super
class of the all page classes.
I have collected all common elements
and functions into PageBase class and
all other page classes extent PageBase class.
By doing so, I don't have to locate very
common WebElements and it provides
reusability in my framework.
Also
1)Abstract classes cannot be instantiated
2)An abstarct classes contains abstract method,
concrete methods or both.
3)Any class which extends abstarct class must
override all methods of abstract class
4)An abstarct class can contain either
0 or more abstract method.
Example 2: abstract class java constructor
public class AbstractConstructorTest {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Server server = new Tomcat("Apache Tomcat");
server.start();
}
}
abstract class Server{
protected final String name;
public Server(String name){
this.name = name;
}
public abstract boolean start();
}
class Tomcat extends Server{
public Tomcat(String name){
super(name);
}
@Override
public boolean start() {
System.out.println( this.name + " started successfully");
return true;
}
}
Output:
Apache Tomcat started successfully
