can't call super from method but I need to??

[caultonpos]

See below, how can I call animals growl while within a method of my
interface (I need that - cant get rid of it).

public class animal {
public void growl() {
System.out.println("growl");
}
}

public class dog extends animal {


public void growl() {
IDefaultCall default = new IDefaultCall () {

public void execute() {
// I can do it this as super. points to IDefaultCell !
super.growl();
}
};
call (default);
}

}

First, class names should be UpperCase.

I think the syntax you're looking for is something like dog.super.growl();

Yes I just typed here in lowercase.

Even if it looks like a static method call that syntax works, learn
something every day.

Yes, that would be the reason Daniel drew your attention to it.
