buildObject
This method takes a class name and some parameters, and uses that information to construct and return an equivalent object, usually by calling the constructor on the class with the supplied parameters. Note that it only works with classes whose constructors take only Objects, and not primitives. It should return singletons.- Parameters:
clazz
- the class to instantiate and buildparamsList
- the parameters to pass to the constructor- Returns:
- an instance of the requested class/params combination. May or may not be a singleton, but usually will be given as that is the purpose of this class.
