Perhaps you mean Objective-C; I don't think that the Java version of
Cocoa works this way.

Cocoa does it a bit like this:
Have an [alloc] method, and an [init] method.
alloc is like new.
init is like passing constructor parameters. It's as if the
constructor is split up into it's two component parts.
You could do it just like this:
dim MyObj as Type
MyObj = new Thing
At a later point, just call an init function
What if you want to make more of them at a later point? In that
case we can use the factory approach. Another approach however,
might be to make the object itself a factory.
Class MyObj
function MakeNew() as MyObj
return new MyObj
end function
End Class
This is cool, because it cuts down on the complexity of structuring
stuff. It lowers the administrative costs but gives the same
benefit, which is always a good thing :)

Implementing (or faking) the ability to override the New operator
is essentially the point of Factory and other creation patterns.

Not familiar with Factory, any URL's where i can find more info about
this, google gave me only none working URL's like (http://
www.realstruts.com/)
