is it possible to extends java class with another class from different package?

**fredsilvester93** · July 18th, 2012, 08:07 PM

Hi, i m making a national database program for practice.

in general package i have a class with gen infos like name dob etc.

now i want to create different packages for different departments like medical, insurance, license etc. so that i can include the gen infos in all the departments.

is it possible to make different packages for all departments and then extend it with the class from different packagee?

import java.util.Scanner;
public class general {
 
	String name;
	String fname;
	int dob;
	char sex;
	public general()
	{
		this("no","no",0,'n');
	}
 
	public general(String string, String string2, int i, char c) {
		// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
	}
 
	protected void addgeninfo()
	{
		Scanner inp = new Scanner(System.in);
 
		System.out.println("Please Enter your name:");
		name=inp.next();
 
		System.out.println("Please Enter your Father's name:");
		fname=inp.next();
 
		System.out.println("Please Enter your dob(format:DDMMYYYY):");
		dob=inp.nextInt();
 
		String temp;
		System.out.println("Please Enter your sex(m/f):");
		temp=inp.next();
		sex =temp.charAt(0);
 
	}
 
	public static void main(String[] asgc)
	{
		//int totnationals=10;
		System.out.println("Welcome to National Database");
		general nationals = new general();
 
		nationals.addgeninfo();
 
 
 
 
	}
}

So if I am understanding you correctly, you are asking if you can create a class that inherits from another class that is located in a different package. The answer is "yes" as long as that other class has public visibility and has a constructor with public visibility and is not immutable, then this should work fine.

We can't read minds, and so if you need our help, you'll need to tell us more. Likely the error is not due to classes being in different classes, but honestly given what you've posted, I have no idea what your error is. Specifically please show the offending code and the full error message.

my one package name is default package. another package name is nationalidentityinformation. can chck the image i have posted above.

I would recommend that you not use the default package (meaning that it is in no package at all), that you put all classes in appropriate packages, and then give it a try again. Please let us know if this fixes things.
