Different ways to create Objects

[Rohit Sajan]

What are the different ways to create Objects in Java? Could anyone help on this?

Why have you posted this as an "advanced" question?

As far as I can remember you can get an Object by:-

Invoking its constructor with the new operator/keyword [Foo myFoo; . . . myFoo = new Foo();]

Retrieve an object which has been previously stored (Serialized) or transmitted (also Serialized).

Retrieve a previously stored object from a bean.

Use the Class class. [Foo myFoo; . . . myFoo = (Foo) Class.forName("mypackage.Foo").getInstance();]

There may be more.
Please check the spelling of the methods carefully with the API website before you use any of these suggestions.

Try doing a search in the forums. Your question has been asked before. (Is this some kind of standard question for interviews or an exam somewhere?).

Not an advanced question. Moving...
