    <p>I have an abstract class <code>Employee</code>, and based on that, I created the following subclasses:</p> <p><code>FulltimeEmployee</code><br> <code>PartTimeEmployee</code><br> <code>Salesman</code></p> <p>as well as one standalone class, <code>Orders</code>.</p> <p>I use the <code>Orders</code> class to "describe the salesman" by sending an array of orders in the Salesman constructor:</p> <pre><code>public Salesman(String firstname, String lastname,int code, String address, String city,int tk,int phone,String email,int deptcode,int card, double hours,String cat,int orderno,double salary, Orders[] order){ super( firstname, lastname, code, address, city, tk, phone, email, deptcode, card, hours, cat ); this.orderno=orderno; setBaseSalary( salary ); getSalary(orders); ///////////////// } </code></pre> <p>Later, I use that array to calculate the bonus a salesman gets, depending on the amount of sales he makes.</p> <p>In <code>main</code>, I created an array of type <code>Employee</code>:</p> <pre><code>Employee employees[] = new Employee[ 7 ]; employees[ 0 ] = salary1; employees[ 1 ] = salary2; employees[ 2 ] = salary3; employees[ 3 ] = partt1; employees[ 4 ] = partt2; employees[ 5 ] = sales1; employees[ 6 ] = sales; </code></pre> <p>where each row is a different type of employee (salary = full-time, partt = part-time, and sales = salesman).</p> <p>My problem is that I want to print the orders of each salesman using the employees array. What I've done so far is</p> <pre><code>for (int i=5;i&lt;employees.length;i++){ System.out.printf("Orders of Salesman: %S %S", employees[i].getName(),employees[i].getSurname()); System.out.printf(" Total amount(money) from orders: %,.0f ", employees[i].earnings()); int j=0; ((Salesman)employees[i]).getOrderNo(arr) ; //((Orders)employees[i]).getOrderNo(); System.out.printf("ordernumber: %d orderdate:%s description: %s order amount(money): %,.0f\n "); } </code></pre> <p>The problem comes here:</p> <p><code>System.out.printf("ordernumber: %d orderdate:%s description: %s order amount(money): %,.0f\n ");</code></p> <p>How do I access the orders array inside of the Salesman object on employees array? I have tried casting, but it won't work because Orders is not a subclass of Employee.</p> <p>I need it to print, for example,</p> <blockquote> <p>Orders of Salesman: john koun</p> <p>Total amount of orders: 13000 Orders per Salesman</p> <p>Order number: 1 order date: 10/2/2010 description: machinery sale order amount: 12000</p> <p>Order number: 2 order date: 20/2/2010 description: sales of parts order amount: 1000</p> </blockquote>

    2. COnote, the constructor argument is named `order` however you refer to it as `orders`. this code obviously won't compile.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
