nested classes again

[Dennis]

sorry, i meant to ask:

how does an instance of an inner nested class call one of its outer class's
methods?

It just calls it, that's all. Here's an example that compiles and works
(note that the inner class Inner is calling the womble method of the outer
class Outer).

************** Outer.java ****************
public class Outer
{
public class Inner
{
public void mungle() {
System.out.println("Mungle");
womble();
}
}
public void womble() {
System.out.println("Womble");
}
}
***************** OuterTest.java *******************
public class OuterTest
{
static public void main (String argv [])
{
Outer z = new Outer();
Outer.Inner x = z.new Inner();
x.mungle();
}
}
