    Default Inheritance not working!

    Hey everyone, I am basically trying to just use the super keyword to call my subclass:

    public class SenderReceiver extends MultiEchoClient{
     
    		public SenderReceiver(String host,int port){
    			super(host,port);
    		}
     
    		public static void main(String args[]){
    			if(args.length == 0){
    			SenderReceiver senderReceiver = new SenderReceiver((String) "127.0.0.1",4433);
    		}else{
    			SenderReceiver senderReceiver = new SenderReceiver(args[0],4433);
    		}
    		//SenderReceiver.run();
    		}
    }

    The super class has a constructor that passes String host,int port and so I am just trying to call that. I want to be able to have all the functionality in this new class so that if i mess up, then my superclass will be okay!

    The compile error that i get is "unreported exception, must be caught or thrown". It is an IOException so I tried to encase the super(host,port); with a try catch block but it says that the super keyword must be declared first...

    Thanks!

    Declare the constructor to throw the exception - this will force any code that constructs a SenderReceiver to throw or catch the exception. See Lesson: Exceptions (The Java™ Tutorials > Essential Classes)

    Thanks for the reply. I tried this:

    public SenderReceiver(String host,int port)throws IOException{
    			super(host,port);
    		}
    but get a "cannot retrieve symbol"

    Post the full error. Did you import java.io.IOException?

    ah, it looks like my objects were causing the issue. I shall have a look to see why that is. The throws IOException did the trick, thanks for your help copeg, much appreciated!
