Different Ways of creating Objects in Java.

1. Using new keyword
This is the most common way to create an object in java. I read somewhere that almost 99 of objects are created in this way.

MyObject object new MyObject();

2. Using Class.forName()

If we know the name of the class & if it has a public default constructor we can create an object in this way.

MyObject object (MyObject) Class.forName( subin.rnd.MyObject ).newInstance();

3. Using clone()

The clone() can be used to create a copy of an existing object.

MyObject anotherObject new MyObject();MyObject object anotherObject.clone();

4. Using object deserialization

Object deserialization is nothing but creating an object from its serialized form.

ObjectInputStream inStream new ObjectInputStream(anInputStream );MyObject object (MyObject) inStream.readObject();

5. Using class loader

one more is through creation of object using classloader
like

this.getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass( com.amar.myobject ).newInstance();

Now you know how to create an object. But its advised to create objects only when it is necessary to do so.
