Answer / lakshmanan n
Static methods can be overriden but why do you want to call
the static methods thro instance of the subclass or super
class.
If it is a static method.
call those methods like the following...
SuperClassName.methodName()
SubClassName.methodName()

/* STATIC METHODS CANT BE OVERRRIDDEN....*/
class Animal {
static void doStuff() {
System.out.print("a ");
}
}
class Dog extends Animal {
static void dostuff() { // it's a redefinition,
// not an override
System.out.print("d ");
}
public static void main(String [] args) {
// Animal [] a = {new Animal(), new Dog(), new Animal()};
// for(int x = 0; x < a.length; x++)
// a[x].doStuff(); // invoke the static method
dostuff();
Animal a=new Dog();
a.doStuff();
}
}

Answer / abid mehmood
An instance method can not override the static method of
its parent class.like
if parenet class contains
public static void test()
{
}
then in child class you can't override like this
public void test(){ //you can't override
}
or even like this
public static int test(){ //compile time error:type is
incompatibe with parent's test method.
}

Answer / karteek
Hi, Srinivas.....in the above program posted by Aswini...I
think main() method is overridden....right?.....then we can
say static methods can be overridden....
Eg:
class Parent
{
public static void myStaticMethod()
{
System.out.println("A");
}
public void myInstanceMethod()
{
System.out.println("B");
}
}
public class Child extends Parent
{
public static void myStaticMethod()
{
System.out.println("C");
}
public void myInstanceMethod()
{
System.out.println("D");
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Parent o1 = new Parent();
Child o3 = new Child();
Parent.myStaticMethod(); // A
Child.myStaticMethod(); // C
o1.myStaticMethod(); // A
o1.myInstanceMethod(); // B
o3.myStaticMethod(); // C
o3.myInstanceMethod(); // D
}
}
In the above program myStaticMethod() is
overridden.....which is a static method.....
