Consider following code:
Theoretically, the call at line no. 13 should not cause any error as count
is defined for testObj as a field in SubClass
, but it gives a Cannot create property count on SubClass
. Interestingly if we move modifyProperty
method to SubClass
or make count
public, it works without any error.
So it can be said that we cannot access protected fields dynamically in a subclass.
