In OJB you basically have two options for object creation: 1) Use the factory pattern with a factory class having a static no-arg creation method. 2) Have a (private) no-arg constructor, and optionally, use initialization-method to specify an instance method (again no-arg) that is called right after the object has been created, to initialize the object. (This initialization method can also be used with the above strategy). If these won't suffice for you, then could you please give some more details on what your particular scenario is (e.g. in pseudo code) ?
