Help with solutions

Hi friends,

I am developing an utility for my team.I am working with a file.
Based on this file I generate a class at runtime.This class is a bean type of thing with getters & setters.This class is generated in a folder on my system.Now I have to display as many fields on the browser as there are getters in the class.For this I used reflection and successfully displayed that many fields on the browser.When the user inputs data I again used reflection to call the setters to set the data.So far so good.Now I am required to send this bean instance with the set values as an argument to another method in another program.I can't modify this method or program as it is a standard one already available.But as I was using reflection what I have with me now is the instance of the bean class and not the actual bean instance.Is there a way in which I can get the actual bean instance along with my set values?

  BeanClass myBeanClass = Class.forName("some.package.BeanClass");
  // be more accurate about which constructor you need.  You can specify
  // an array of Class objects to getConstructors to specify the exact
  // constructor you need
  Constructor cons = myBeanClass.getConstructors()[0]; 
 
  Bean mybean = cons.newInstance(Object[] parameters);

Should do the trick.

Thanks Jeremy...that should definitely do the trick.Too silly of me that I didn't reflect on the constructor/s available for the class instance!!!thanks a lot for waking me up:-)
