I wrote a java class, retCallInfo, which extends a super class, VoiceElementData. I tried to inherit some data types and methods from that supper class. But it generates the error messages as below:

"VoiceElementData() has private access in com.audium.server.VoiceElementData

public class retCallInfo extends VoiceElementData{

1 error"

How can I access the data and method in this private access supper class

Thanks in advance for any helps

Hi.

It looks like your VoiceElementData class has a private no-arg constructor and your retCallInfo class is trying to call super() in one of its constructors. You need to change the visibility of the VoiceElementData no-arg constructor to protected, package (if retCallInfo is in the same package as VoiceElementData) or public visibility and then it will work.

By the way, I suggest capitalising the first letter of the retCallInfo class in order to follow the general conventions for class naming :-)

Regards
