Call a constructor as an array

suppose there is a constructor that takes an argument
public ball(int radius){
this.radius=radius;
now I need to call array of constructor ball(radius). how do i do it?
thanks

  • Create an object instance without calling its constructor?

    Hi,
    Sometimes it's useful to create object instances without calling their constructor. When? For example object deserialization.
    By default when deserializating an object, the instance in the VM is created by calling the default constructor of the first non Serializable super-class (if you don't have such you're in trouble). I think that the db4o object database don't even call any constructor you may have written.
    So such thing exists, but how is this possible? I fugured out that sun's deserialization mechanism first finds the constructor of the first non Serializable super-class and then:
    cons = reflFactory.newConstructorForSerialization(cl, cons); Here I'm stuck.
    Here's the source of the method for finding serializable constructor:
         * Returns subclass-accessible no-arg constructor of first non-serializable
         * superclass, or null if none found.  Access checks are disabled on the
         * returned constructor (if any).
        private static Constructor getSerializableConstructor(Class cl) {
         Class initCl = cl;
         while (Serializable.class.isAssignableFrom(initCl)) {
             if ((initCl = initCl.getSuperclass()) == null) {
              return null;
         try {
             Constructor cons = initCl.getDeclaredConstructor(new Class[0]);
             int mods = cons.getModifiers();
             if ((mods & Modifier.PRIVATE) != 0 ||
              ((mods & (Modifier.PUBLIC | Modifier.PROTECTED)) == 0 &&
               !packageEquals(cl, initCl)))
              return null;
             cons = reflFactory.newConstructorForSerialization(cl, cons);
             cons.setAccessible(true);
             return cons;
         } catch (NoSuchMethodException ex) {
             return null;
        }So any info about this ReflectionFactory, and the problem as a whole?
    Thanks.

    So the question is how to create object instance without initializing it (calling the constructor)? And if you have any info about ReflectionFactory it will be useful too.
    When serializing an object you save all its fields and some extra info. When you deserialize it you have to reconstruct it, by copying the fields back, but not to reinitialize.
    import java.lang.reflect.*;
    import java.io.Serializable;
    import java.security.AccessController;
    import sun.reflect.ReflectionFactory;
    public class Test0 implements Serializable {
        public Test0() {
            System.out.println("Test0");
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
            Constructor<Test0> constr = reflectionFactory.newConstructorForSerialization(Test0.class, Object.class.getConstructor(new Class[0]));
            System.out.println(constr.newInstance(new Object[0]).getClass());
        private static final ReflectionFactory reflectionFactory = (ReflectionFactory)
         AccessController.doPrivileged(
             new ReflectionFactory.GetReflectionFactoryAction());
    }When you execute this piece you get:
    class Test0

  • How call the constructor of the super type in the sub type?

    Hi, everybody:
    There are two type as belowing code:
    CREATE TYEP super_t AS OBJECT (
    a NUMBER(7,1),
    b NUMBER(7,1),
    CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION super_t
    (a IN NUMBER:=null, b IN NUMBER:=null) RETURN SELF AS RESULT
    ) NOT FINAL;
    CREATE TYEP sub_t UNDER super_t (
    CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION sub_t RETURN SELF AS RESULT
    Because super_t has the constructor that can pass 0 to two parameters, does the constructor of the sub_t can call the constructor of the super_t to create the instance of the sub_t?
    If can, how call?
    If not, need to rewrite the code as the constructor of the super_t in the constructor of the sub_t?
    Thank you very much!

    No the supertype constructor is not automatically called (that should have been trivial for you to prove to yourself). Unfortunately, you can't call it from the subtype either (there is functionality like Java's 'super'). You could define a named method in the supertype that does the initialization and call that in both the constructors however.

  • Why Can't I call a constructor?

    Hello all,
    Why cant i call a constructor as a function?, just like any other function by its name?...
    class Test{
         Test(){
        void func(){
             Test();    // why cant i do this?
    To me it looks just like another function. So whats the wrong in calling it as a function?...

    It says "Method not found" because there is no method Test() in your class, only a constructor with that name (without parameters), as already mentioned by a previous poster. Try to replace the line by new Test(); and it should work. But note that this will create a new object of the class and so, doesn't make any sense.
    Think of constructors being only called when creating a new object. So you don't want "to call the constructor again", because the object already exists.
    Constructors and methods are really something very different. You might have a look at the Java tutorial for further details:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/index.html

  • Calling a constructor

    I have an instantiated class, with the initialization code in the constructor. I want to be able to call the constructor again (to reset object data) without moving the reference to the object. Is there an easy way to do this? I don't want to have to put data initialization into a separate function.

    // Java ain't no C++
    void T::reinit() {
    delete this;
    *this = * ( new T());
    }...and that ain't no C++ either ;-)
    Sorry for the off-topic reply, but that code cannot stand uncorrected.delete this; Only valid for heap-constructed objects, which you can't be sure of inside the function. Will crash otherwise.
    If "this" was in fact on the heap, execution might indeed reach this line:
    *this = * ( new T()); ...only to crash there, since it's an illegal dereferencing of "this", which has just been deleted.
    (Surviving the Access Violation, you'd then have a memory leak, since new T() will never be deleted.)
    The correct C++ way of doing a re-initialization would make use of placement-new.
    void T::reinit()
    T::~T();
    new(this) T();
    }

  • Calling a constructor of an object that extends another object

    suppose you have the source:
    class A {
    public int x = 1;
    public int y = 5;
    public A(){y = 6;)
    class B extends A {
    public B(){}
    public B(int a) { super(a); }
    Now suppose in the main function you say
    B b1 = new B();
    I would think the value of x is 1 which it is, but the value of y is 6, why is this, I did not call the A constructor or does an object call the parameterless constructor of its superclass automatically. If that is the case, it will clarify to me why y gets the value of 6 and not 5.

    Unless you specify a super call, it will be done. The next two constructors are the same:public B () {
        x = 2;
    public B () {
        super ();
        x = 2;
    }Another thing for you to try: remove the A () constructor (but keep the A (int)) and see if B will still compile.

  • De-serialization not calling default constructor ??

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem with serialization (de-serialization, actually):
    I have a bunch of classes that represent the model for my application.
    These classes are organized as a complex tree and come in three flavors:
    public abstract class AbstractIOCLeaf implements IOCElement {
         private String name;
         private transient boolean changed = false;
         private transient LinkedList<ChangeListener> changeListeners;
         protected AbstractIOCLeaf() {
              super();
              name = null;
              changed = false;
              changeListeners = new LinkedList<ChangeListener>();
         } //needed for Serialzation
         protected AbstractIOCLeaf(String name) {
              this();
              this.name = name;
    ...this class is a leaf: it cannot contain other sub-elements.
    public abstract class AbstractIOCList<T extends IOCElement> extends AbstractIOCNode implements ComboBoxModel {
         protected LinkedList<T> list = null;
         protected transient List<ListDataListener> listListeners;
         protected abstract T newElement(String name);     
         protected AbstractIOCList() { super();  listListeners = new LinkedList<ListDataListener>(); }
         public AbstractIOCList(String name) {
              super(name);
              list = new LinkedList<T>();
              listListeners = new LinkedList<ListDataListener>();
    ... This class holds a list of elements that are all equal.
    and finally:
    public abstract class AbstractIOCNode extends AbstractIOCLeaf implements ChangeListener, ListDataListener {
         protected AbstractIOCNode() { super(); }
         protected AbstractIOCNode(String name) {
              super(name);
    ... This class holds elements that are all different.
    The actual classes extends one of these following the pattern:
    public class StateMachine extends AbstractIOCNode {
         private StateList states = null;;
         private EventQueue fEventQueue = null;
         private StateMachine() { super(); }
         private StateMachine(String name) {
              super(name);
              states = StateList.newInstance(this);
              changed = false;
         public static StateMachine newInstance(String name) {
              StateMachine sm = new StateMachine(name);
              sm.initialize();
              return sm;
    public class StateList extends AbstractIOCList<State> {
         private StateMachine sm;
         private StateList() { super("StateList"); sm = null; }
         private StateList(StateMachine sm) {
              this();
              this.sm = sm;
         public static StateList newInstance(StateMachine sm) {
              StateList list = new StateList(sm);
              list.initialize();
              return list;
    ...etc. etc.
    I do serialization calling ObjectOutputStream.writeObject on the root object and (obviously) deserialize using ObjectOutputStream.readObject.
    The process works, but it seems that the default constructors in particular AbstractIOCLeaf() is never called while deserializing. First hint to something amiss was the fact that I always had the transient field changeListeners remaining in its default null state.
    Further investigation involving debugging and breakpointing confirmed no default constructor is called in spite of the super(); calls.
    What am I doing wrong??
    Did I miss something about serialization (apparently so, but I cannot understand what!)?
    Side issue:
    I tried substituting ObjectOutputStream.writeObject with XMLEncoder.writeObject, but then I get the error: "Class sun.reflect.misc.Trampoline can not access a member of class com.softin.IOCbuilder.model.IOController with modifiers "private"".
    Aren't those classes supposed to be equivalent?
    Is there any (fast) way to desume the offending member?
    Excuse me for the length of the post and
    Thanks in Advance
