Reusing Class Instance without recreating them

Reusing Class Instance without recreating them

pI have a bunch of classes that I have already loaded and already done
newInstance() on the classes. I would like to reuse these classes without
needing to do a newInstance() again and also reuse their current states.
Is there a method to replace the use of newInstance() so that I can reuse
already instantiated classes without recreating them (thus losing all the
states). How should I go about it ?/p precodeListlt;Classgt; classes =
null; private void parseCP(File loadPath) { try { // Convert loading path
to a URL URL url = loadPath.toURI().toURL(); URL[] urls = new URL[]{url};
// Create a new class loader with the directory ClassLoader cl = new
URLClassLoader(urls); classes = getClassesFromFolder(loadPath.getPath(),
cl); System.out.println(Classes discovered: + classes.size()); for (Class
i : classes) { System.out.println(Looking into class: + i.getName());
Object obj = i.newInstance(); // Call load() to get HttpFunctions to
register their main and sub functions. Method loadMethod =
i.getMethod(load, null); Object loadRes = loadMethod.invoke(obj, null); }
} catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException |
IllegalAccessException | IllegalArgumentException |
InvocationTargetException | IOException | NoSuchMethodException e) {
e.printStackTrace(); } } public Object invoke(String classname, String
method, Object args) { Object res = null; try { for (Class i : classes) {
if (i.getName().equals(classname)) { Object obj = i.newInstance();
//lt;--- How do I NOT create newInstance but reuse them ? Class[] cargs =
new Class[1]; cargs[0] = Object.class; Method loadMethod; if (args !=
null) { loadMethod = i.getMethod(method, cargs); } else { loadMethod =
i.getMethod(method, null); } if (loadMethod != null) { if (args == null) {
res = loadMethod.invoke(obj); } else { res = loadMethod.invoke(obj, args);
} } } } } catch (InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException |
NoSuchMethodException | IllegalArgumentException |
InvocationTargetException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return res; }

problems behind these 2 posts are not the same./p
