How I can get a instance by a class?

Question

I have a method

 public static <T> T createObject(Class<T> t){

 }

You see, I want to get a instance of T.

I know this can be realized, because:

 public <T> T find(Object id, Class<T> type) {
  return (T) this.em.find(type, id);
 }

Help me........

Answer 1

siunds like you need reflection

import java.reflect.*;
...
Class klass = obj.class;
Object newObj = klass.newInstance();
return (T)newObj;

note: written from memory, so the api may be slightly different.

Answer 2

If the class t has a no-args constructor, then the Class.newInstance() method will do what is needed:

 public static <T> T createObject(Class<T> t) 
 throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException {
    return t.newInstance();
 }

Note that you have to either propagate or deal with checked exceptions arising from things like:

• the t object represents an interface or an abstract class,
• the t class doesn't have a no-args constructor, or
• the t class or its no-args constructor are not accessible.
