Why is that a constructor is made mandatory for POJO-->For instance hibernate asks the developer to have a constructor in the POJOs.

Can anybody what are the other ways a f/w or any container does to create instances other than below



and my POJO is



In this case i do not hav a default constructor and iam able to create instances as shown above without any issues.

Then why we should have a contructor as a mandatory?

Thanks.

It seems that Hibernate uses Reflection Constructor methodology to create an instance. Try the below code and check for the error with your POJO.

The code fails when the getConstructor() method is called with the Pojo class

The reason being that the automatically generated constructor has the same visibility as the class itself, in this case default visibility (no access modifier). Make the class public and that code will work.

Yes Rob. it worked perfect. there should be some other reason for Hibernate forcing to have default constructors in POJO then.
