Hi Tony,
No, I don't have an object... I only have the definition of the class... I'm
looking for a method whose behavior is similar as
Object newNullObject(Class c) {
get a constructor
new an object
set all fields to null/0/false
return the instance; // the object is like the initial state of
de-serialize as Nathan pointed out.
}
