names from Class.getName()

[Rico]

The following is my attempt at a sample program to illustrate my situation
but... well... things turn out to work fine here. that's not good! :S
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
class A
{
A()
{
b_here = new B();
}

private B b_here;

public B getB()
{
return b_here;
}
}

class B {}

class C
{
C()
{
a_main = new A();
}

private class D
{
D()
{
System.out.println(a_main.getB().getClass().getName());
}
}

A a_main;
public static void main(String [] args)
{
a_main = new A();
new C().new D();
}
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In my project what I'm observing is that from class D's constructor what's
printed out is not "B" but something like "A$1"...
Anyone with some idea as to why? Thanks.

Rico.

You cannot access non-static a_main from a static context.

new C().new D();
}
}

I've compiled and run, and prints "B".

hello,

A a_main;
public static void main(String [] args)
{
a_main = new A();

this is wrong.Compiler will show an error! Because a_main isn't static
and main-function is static.

This :
public static void main(String [] args)
{
// a_main = new A();
new C().new D();
}

gives output B.

joana

Looks like ..hmm.. static inner class. Is in your project 'B' a static
class contained within 'A'? If so, it becomes to a toplevel class with
name 'A$[number]'.

That would be accurate for anonymous inner classes. Static nested
classes would be given names built from the actual name of the nested
class as well as the containing class. As for "static inner classes",
no such thing exists; the static keyword is used to prevent a nested
class from being an inner class.
