An instance method is nothing but a normal java method. They can be invoked only by creating an object of the class that contains the method definition. Unlike static methods that can be invoked without creating an object of the class.
I assume the question is about Java. How you call a method from inside the main method depends on whether this is an instance method or a static method. To call an instance method, you need to have a valid instance. Say foo is an instance of class Foo, which was created inside the main method. Then to call the instance method implode() use foo.implode() To call the static method bar() of class Foo, use Foo.bar().
No. Once a method is declared final in a class, no derivative of that class can override that method.
static method
No! Instance methods are allocated memory at first time only.
You can get the ServletContext instance in a servlet by using the getServletContext() method provided by the HttpServlet class, which is the base class for servlets. This method returns the ServletContext object associated with the servlet. For example: ServletContext context = getServletContext();
Instance methods can be called by the object of a Class whereas static method are called by the Class. When objects of a Class are created, they have their own copy of instance methods and variables, stored in different memory locations. Static Methods and variables are shared among all the objects of the Class, stored in one fixed location in memory.Static methods cannotaccess instance variables or instance methods directly-they must use an object reference. Also, class methods cannot use the this keyword as there is no instance for this to refer to.
MethodBinding is an object that can be used to call an arbitrary public method, on an instance that is acquired by evaluatng the leading portion of a method binding expression via a ValueBinding. An immutable MethodBinding for a particular method binding expression can be acquired by calling the createMethodBinding() method of the Application instance for this web application.
A "static" method belongs to the class, not to any particular instance. So make it static method.
I have no idea. Was going to ask you the same question...An instance method represent the behavior of an object
An individual object of a certain class. While a class is just the type definition, an actual usage of a class is called "instance". Each instance of a class can have different values for its instance variablesA case or occurance of something.
jsp init()
Yes, it is possible to call a static method from a non-static method. However, it is not possible to call a non-static method from a static method without first having an instance to operate on.
