Hello,
I’m working on some network code, and i want to instantiate an object. I’m sending the EntityType over the network which goes fine. I’ve got a class called EntityList which holds all the classes and the types (hashmaps). That works good as well. Now the last thing i’m trying to do is instantiate the object with a constructor.
Entity entity = EntityList.getEntity(((EntityCreation) object).entityType).getConstructor(EntityCreation.class).newInstance((EntityCreation)object);
entityManager.createEntity(entity);
Sadly enough this doesnt work. to clarify some more, i’m sending an entityType of 1 here. Which returns TestEntity.class from the entityList.
TestEntity extends MovingUnit extends SelectableUnit extends Unit extends Entity.
This is the constructor i’m trying to acces:
public TestEntity(EntityCreation entityCreation) {
//CODE here
}
Now it is throwing a “java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException”. With the .getCause() function i’m trying to debug it, and it is returning a NullPointerException. I take it that it can’t find the constructor?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
