- Type Parameters:
T
- the class in which the constructor is declared
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- AnnotatedElement, GenericDeclaration, Member
public final class Constructor<T> extends AccessibleObject implements GenericDeclaration, Member
Constructor
provides information about, and access to, a single constructor for a class.Constructor
permits widening conversions to occur when matching the actual parameters to newInstance() with the underlying constructor's formal parameters, but throws anIllegalArgumentException
if a narrowing conversion would occur.

equals
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares thisConstructor

objects are the same if they were declared by the same class and have the same formal parameter types.- Overrides:
equals
in classObject
- Parameters:
obj
- the reference object with which to compare.- Returns:
true
if this object is the same as the obj argument;false
otherwise.- See Also:
Object.hashCode()
,HashMap

- Returns:
- a hash code value for this object.
- See Also:
Object.equals(java.lang.Object)
,System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)
-
toString
public String toString()
Returns a string describing thisConstructor
. The string is formatted as the constructor access modifiers, if any, followed by the fully-qualified name of the declaring class, followed by a parenthesized, comma-separated list of the constructor's formal parameter types. For example:public java.util.Hashtable(int,float)
The only possible modifiers for constructors are the access modifiers
public
,protected
orprivate
. Only one of these may appear, or none if the constructor has default (package) access.
-
toGenericString
public String toGenericString()
Returns a string describing thisConstructor
, including type parameters. The string is formatted as the constructor access modifiers, if any, followed by an angle-bracketed comma separated list of the constructor's type parameters, if any, followed by the fully-qualified name of the declaring class, followed by a parenthesized, comma-separated list of the constructor's generic formal parameter types. If this constructor was declared to take a variable number of arguments, instead of denoting the last parameter as "Type[]", it is denoted as "Type...". A space is used to separate access modifiers from one another and from the type parameters or return type. If there are no type parameters, the type parameter list is elided; if the type parameter list is present, a space separates the list from the class name. If the constructor is declared to throw exceptions, the parameter list is followed by a space, followed by the word "throws
" followed by a comma-separated list of the thrown exception types.The only possible modifiers for constructors are the access modifiers
public
,protected
orprivate
. Only one of these may appear, or none if the constructor has default (package) access.- Returns:
- a string describing this
Constructor
, include type parameters - Since:

-
newInstance
public T newInstance(Object... initargs) throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, IllegalArgumentException, InvocationTargetException
Uses the constructor represented by thisConstructor
object to create and initialize a new instance of the constructor's declaring class, with the specified initialization parameters. Individual parameters are automatically unwrapped to match primitive formal parameters, and both primitive and reference parameters are subject to method invocation conversions as necessary.If the number of formal parameters required by the underlying constructor is 0, the supplied
initargs
array may be of length 0 or null.If the constructor's declaring class is an inner class in a non-static context, the first argument to the constructor needs to be the enclosing instance; see section 15.9.3 of The Java™ Language Specification.
If the required access and argument checks succeed and the instantiation will proceed, the constructor's declaring class is initialized if it has not already been initialized.
If the constructor completes normally, returns the newly created and initialized instance.
- Parameters:
initargs
- array of objects to be passed as arguments to the constructor call; values of primitive types are wrapped in a wrapper object of the appropriate type (e.g. afloat
in aFloat
)- Returns:
- a new object created by calling the constructor this object represents
- Throws:
IllegalAccessException
- if thisConstructor
object is enforcing Java language access control and the underlying constructor is inaccessible.IllegalArgumentException
- if the number of actual and formal parameters differ; if an unwrapping conversion for primitive arguments fails; or if, after possible unwrapping, a parameter value cannot be converted to the corresponding formal parameter type by a method invocation conversion; if this constructor pertains to an enum type.InstantiationException
- if the class that declares the underlying constructor represents an abstract class.InvocationTargetException
- if the underlying constructor throws an exception.ExceptionInInitializerError
- if the initialization provoked by this method fails.
-
isVarArgs
public boolean isVarArgs()
Returnstrue
if this constructor was declared to take a variable number of arguments; returnsfalse
otherwise.- Returns:
true
if an only if this constructor was declared to take a variable number of arguments.- Since:
- 1.5
-
isSynthetic
public boolean isSynthetic()
Returnstrue
if this constructor is a synthetic constructor; returnsfalse
otherwise.- Specified by:
isSynthetic
in interfaceMember
- Returns:
- true if and only if this constructor is a synthetic constructor as defined by The Java™ Language Specification.

NullPointerException
- if the given annotation class is null- Since:
- 1.5

getDeclaredAnnotations
public Annotation[] getDeclaredAnnotations()
Description copied from interface:AnnotatedElement
Returns all annotations that are directly present on this element. Unlike the other methods in this interface, this method ignores inherited annotations. (Returns an array of length zero if no annotations are directly present on this element.)

getDeclaredAnnotations
in classAccessibleObject
- Returns:
- All annotations directly present on this element
- Since:
- 1.5
-
getParameterAnnotations
public Annotation[][] getParameterAnnotations()
Returns an array of arrays that represent the annotations on the formal parameters, in declaration order, of the method represented by thisConstructor
object. (Returns an array of length zero if the underlying method is parameterless. If the method has one or more parameters, a nested array of length zero is returned for each parameter with no annotations.) The annotation objects contained in the returned arrays are serializable. The caller of this method is free to modify the returned arrays; it will have no effect on the arrays returned to other callers.- Returns:
- an array of arrays that represent the annotations on the formal parameters, in declaration order, of the method represented by this Constructor object
