Java generic problem

Can I write a method that can create an instance of any specified type?

I think Java generics should help, so it might be like this:

public <U> U getObject(Class klass){
        //...
    }

Who can help me?

Solution

public <U> U genericFactory(Constructor<U> classConstructor,Object..args)

public <U> U genericFactory(Constructor<U> classConstructor,Object..args)
  throws
   InstantiationException,illegalaccessexception,IllegalArgumentException,InvocationTargetException {
     return classConstructor.newInstance(args);
 }

You can get the constructor from class < U > Object through getconstructors method You can get information about the parameters through the constructor itself, so you need to add some additional code outside this factory to fill the parameters appropriately

Obviously, this is as ugly as Peter's answer
