public class ConstructorUtils extends Object
Utility reflection methods focussed on constructors, modelled after MethodUtils.
There is an issue when invoking public constructors contained in a default access superclass.
Reflection locates these constructors fine and correctly assigns them as public.
However, an IllegalAccessException is thrown if the constructors is invoked.
ConstructorUtils contains a workaround for this situation.
It will attempt to call setAccessible on this constructor.
If this call succeeds, then the method can be invoked as normal.
This call will only succeed when the application has sufficient security privilages.
If this call fails then a warning will be logged and the method may fail.

public static <T> T invokeConstructor(Class<T> klass, Object arg) throws NoSuchMethodException, IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException, InstantiationException
Convenience method returning new instance of klazz using a single argument constructor.
The formal parameter type is inferred from the actual values of arg.
See invokeExactConstructor(Class, Object[], Class[]) for more details.
The signatures should be assignment compatible.
