Why base class's static method shows up in derived class?

Show all headers | View raw

Hi there,

Can anyone share some experiences with this weird behavior:

With the code snipped below:

        for (Method method: HttpClientContext.class.getMethods()) {
            if (method.getName().equals("create")) {
                System.out.printf("%s%n", method);
            }
        }


I got output:
public static org.apache.http.client.protocol.HttpClientContext org.apache.http.client.protocol.HttpClientContext.create()
public static org.apache.http.protocol.HttpCoreContext org.apache.http.protocol.HttpCoreContext.create()


HttpClientContext derived from HttpCoreContext. Both class has a static method "create" with no parameter. 

Why HttpCoreContext.create shows up as HttpClientContext's method? I am expecting only "public static org.apache.http.client.protocol.HttpClientContext org.apache.http.client.protocol.HttpClientContext.create()" to show up, am I missing anthing?

Thanks,
Stone
