How many ways we can create an object in java

There are four different ways to create objects in java:

1. Using new keyword:

This is the most common way to create an object in java. Almost 99% of objects are created in this way.

 Customer  customer = new  Customer();

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.

Customer  customer = (Customer) Class.forName("com.srinu.Customer").newInstance();

3. Using clone() :

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

Customer    customer = new Customer();

Customer    object = (Customer ) customer .clone();

4. Using object deserialization :

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

ObjectInputStream inStream = new ObjectInputStream(anInputStream );

Customer    customer = (Customer) inStream.readObject();
