java - Force invocation of base class method

Question

The following code when run obviously prints out "B1/A2/B2". Now, is it possible for it to print "A1/A2/B2" instead (i.e. A#method2() should invoke method1() on A, not on B)?

Note: I have no such need to get pass polymorphism, this question is out of curiosity only.

class A {
    public void method1() {
        System.out.println("A1");
    }

    public void method2() {
        method1();
        System.out.println("A2");
    }
}

class B extends A {
    @Override public void method2() {
        super.method2();
        System.out.println("B2");

    }

    @Override public void method1() {
        System.out.println("B1");
    }
}

public class Tmp {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        B b = new B();
        b.method2();
    }
}

I don't believe so; not if you're overriding method1() in a subclass. If you really required that behavior, you'd have to declare A.method1() as final, and you couldn't define it in B.

It doesn't make sense to me to do this - you should reconsider your design if you think you need to!
