Object without using 'new'

Can we create an object with out using 'new' keyword in java?

yeah in case of Strings we can create a new object by using the below given statement

String str = "Test_String";

this will create a new String object and the reference variable str will refer to that object. the value of that object will be Test_String

ya this is only possible with strings.

String is a class in Java.
You can create java String object using new.
String str=new String("");
String str="erer";

Both ways create String object.

Hope iam clear

Yes we can create object without using new
1.clone()
2.newinstance() in java.lang.class

Yes, Thats quite possible using the factory methods or using Creational Patterns.

Hi lavanya we can create object without using new opearator.

1) Using factory methods
Ex:- NumberFormat obj=NumberFormat.getInstance();

2)Using newInstance() method
Ex:-
Class c=Class.forName("SomeClassName");
SomeClassName obj=c.newInstance();

3)using cloning
Ex:- ClassName c1=new ClassName();
ClassName c2=c1.clone();

yes,we can create the object in 3 ways without using 'new' keyword

1)by calling clone() which has present in Object super class
2)using factory methods,we can get the same type of the object

Ex:take Calender class which is in java.util package,we will get the object of Calender class in following way

Calender objCal = Calender.getInstance(); here getInstance() is factory method

3)using newInstance() ,we can Create a new instance of the class represented by this Class object

Ex:Class objClass=Class.forName("Driverclass name");//objClass is the Class object for the class with the specified name

Object obj=objClass.newInstance(); and then type cast into our class and use that object

Yes, without using New keyword u can create objects in Java
