Interface Reflection.Constructor

Enclosing class:

Reflection

public static interface Reflection.Constructor

This interface represents a run-time constructor obtained through reflection. Here are few examples of utilization:[code] // Default constructor (fastList = new FastList()) Reflection.Constructor fastListConstructor = Reflection.getInstance().getConstructor("javolution.util.FastList()"); Object fastList = fastListConstructor.newInstance(); // Constructor with arguments (fastMap = new FastMap(64)) Reflection.Constructor fastMapConstructor = Reflection.getInstance().getConstructor("javolution.util.FastMap(int)"); Object fastMap = fastMapConstructor.newInstance(new Integer(64)); [/code]
