The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Force to call the method on a superclass and bypass the overidden method

Asked by aperdon in Java Programming Language

Tags: subclass, from, superclass, call, method

I need to call the method of the direct superclass of an instance. The method-call is not from within the instance-class so a super.method() is not applicable.

Basically I want to convert an object to its well-known superclass. A upcast wont be helpfull since a method call will still result in calling the overidden method.

So imagine I have 2 classes, say SuperClass and SubClass where SubClass extends SuperClass and SuperClass defines a method exec() which is overidden by SubClass.
Now. I have an instance of SubClass and I want to force to call the exe()-method defined by SuperClass.

Addition. I dont want to change anything in SuperClass/SubClass, so defining a method superExec() in the SubClass which does a super.exec() is not an option.

I know it is not a good practice to force to bypass a call to an overidden method. I just need it to refactor some stuff.
