Protected method in Final Class

[Former Member]

Hi all

Can we have protected method in Final class ?

If so how is it possible ?

Hello

we cannot have protected method in final class.

Final class is used to prevent unwanted specialization by subclasses,

and hence it does not make any sense to have a protected method here more over,

it does not allow to do so.

Final classes cannot have subclasses and hence no need of protected methods.

No comments on possibility.

Check this link from SAP help to know more :

Hope this helps you.
