| <p>For accessing an otherwise invisible field, the rules for |
| <a href="s3.4.html" title="§3.4 Overriding access restrictions" |
| class="sect">decapsulation (§3.4)</a> apply accordingly. |
| <br /> |
| Recall, that according to |
| <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/classes.doc.html#40898" |
| class="ext">JLS §8.3</a> |
| fields may be hidden in sub-classes of a given base class. Therefore, it is relevant to know that a callout to |
| a field will always access the field that is visible in the exact base |
| class of the role class defining the callout. This is especially relevant |
| for accessing private fields. |
