java 传 复合类型对象,如何返回与使用Java 6传入的类相同类型的对象的实例？

I want to return an instance of an object of same type of the Class object passed in. The type passed in can be ANYTHING. Is there a way to do this with Generics?

To clarify -- I don't want the caller of the method to not have to cast to the Class of the object they passed in

For example,

public Object getObject(Class class)

{

// Construct an instance of an object of type Class

return object;

}

// I want this:

MyClass myObj = getObject(MyClass.class);

// Not this (casting):

MyClass myObj = (MyClass)getObject(MyClass.class);

解决方案

I assume you want to create a new instance of that class. This would not be possible using generics (you can't call new T()) and would also be quite limited using reflection.

The reflection approach could be:

//class is a reserved word, so use clazz

public T getObject(Class clazz) {

try {

return clazz.newInstance();

}

catch( /*a multitude of exceptions that can be thrown by clazz.newInstance()*/ ) {

//handle exception

}

}

Note that this only works if the class has a no-argument constructor.

However, the question would by why you need that instead of just calling

new WhatEverClassYouHave().
