Passing custom object into another constructor

Question

I have a custom Class Employee. Now in the Customer Class in the first construcor I want to pass a dummy employee object for the second constructor. How can I do this?

You have to import Employee or else it will be undefined. w3schools.com/java/ref_keyword_import.asp — kpie

Even importing the class or adding it to a package doesn't work. — maxig

Please ask yourself, "is a design I really want?"

You can pass it null or a dummy Employee.

static final Employee DUMMY_VALUE = new Employee();

public Customer(String name, int age){
    this(name, age, "", DUMMY_VALUE);
}
