Program: How to access top level class variables from static member classes?


Description:
Since static code does not have a this reference, you can not access
instance variable of a top level class. You can only access static
members of a top level class.

Code:
package com.java2novice.nested.classes;

public class MyStatMemClassAcsVars {
	
	public static String staticVar = "You can access me!!!";
	private String privVar = "You cannot access me";
	
	public static class ChildClass{
		
		public void myMethod(){
			//you can access all static members of 
			//top level class
			System.out.println(staticVar);
			//you cannot access instance members of
			//top level class
			//below line gives compile error
			//System.out.println(privVar);
		}
	}
	
	public static void main(String a[]){
		MyStatMemClassAcsVars.ChildClass cc = new MyStatMemClassAcsVars.ChildClass();
		cc.myMethod();
	}
}

Output:
You can access me!!!

doPost Vs doGet methods
doGet() method is used to get information, while doPost() method is used for posting information. doGet() requests can't send large amount of information and is limited to 240-255 characters. However, doPost()requests passes all of its data, of unlimited length. A doGet() request is appended to the request URL in a query string and this allows the exchange is visible to the client, whereas a doPost() request passes directly over the socket connection as part of its HTTP request body and the exchange are invisible to the client.
