RE: Class.newInstance() Fails with InstantiationException.

What exactly does it do when it gets instantiated? -----Original Message----- From: Bill Winspur [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2002 9:47 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Class.newInstance() Fails with InstantiationException. I have a servlet that would instantiate an object, if everything worked. Unfortunately, it fails with the following exception from the Class.newInstance() method:   java.lang.InstantiationException: com.wynnon.appletChannel.test.EchoingPort   where EchoingPort is the class I would instantiate from.   The api says this about the Exception thrown by newInstance(): InstantiationException - Thrown if this Class represents an abstract class, an interface, an array class, a primitive type, or void; or if the instantiation fails for some other reason .   I printed all the modifiers for the the class, and it is not an interface, not abstract, etc.   The odd thing is, if I run the instantiation code outside orion, EchoingPort instantiates properly.   Questions -------- Does orion intervene somehow in the instantiation process ? Does anybody have a clue what I'm doing wrong ?
