Hello Every1,

I have method which is defined as 'PROTECTED' in a class. I need to use the same in my function module. So please let me know how to use it.

Best Regards,

Siva.

Hello,

You can't use a protected method except from within the class itself, or within one of the subclasses. This means you can't use the method from within in a function module.

John.

You will have to create a sub class of this class and create a public method which in turn calls the protected method. That is the only work around.

However, there is a reason, why its been protected.

What method of the which class you are trying to use, may be there is a work around.
