I am not sure how say in a Java language a constructor can "conjure up a value of an unknown type".
... Class anUnknownClass; Object anInstance; anInstance = anUnknownClass.getConstructor().newInstance(); If you know that the constructor will require arguments of types T1 and T2, and you have suitable values v1, v2, anInstance = anUnknownClass.getConstructor(T1, T2).newInstance(v1, v2); will do the job. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
