using interface and composition in java - reuse code with different variables

Question

I have a problem during trying to do reuse code. I want to use main interface with two classes, but some of the methods have same implements, so I decided to use compostion. I mean, to declare instance of the "a" class and do on the method:

void do_some()
a.do_some()

the problem is that the function related to some data members. for example:

 public class Locker implements GeneralStorage {
    private final int current_capacity;

  public int getAvailableCapacity(){
        return current_capacity;
      }
}

public class LongTermStorage implements GeneralStorage {
    private final int current_capacity;
    private Locker locker=New Locker();
       public int getAvailableCapacity(){
           return locker.getAvailableCapacity

what can I do? (I want to return LongTermStorage.current_capacity)

Answer 1

You can do so, but it'd be better if you create an instance for composition at your constructor. So it would be like this:

public class Locker implements GeneralStorage {
  private final int current_capacity;

  public int getAvailableCapacity(){
    return current_capacity;
  }
}

public class LongTermStorage implements GeneralStorage {
  private Locker locker;

  public LongTermStorage() {
    locker = new Locker();
  }

  public int getAvailableCapacity(){
    return locker.getAvailableCapacity();
  }
}

So, you will reuse Locker methods and also its props.
