Hi,

I've got two String :

String one "returnType.getName()" = type of a class (for example: java.sql.Timestamp)

String two = "22102002" the date

with this I create an instance :

instance = Class.forName(returnType.getName()).newInstance();

But my problem is to assign the String two to this instance...

Thank you for your help

Alexia

Try this, should be easy to adapt to your code:

Class myClass=Class.forName(returnType.getName());

Class[] paramClassArray=new Class[]{String.class};

Constructor constructor=myClass.getConstructor(paramClassArray);

Object object=constructor.newInstance(new Object[]{"22102002"});
