                                                 InvocationTargetException

This method simply creates an instance of the given class by calling a constructor that needs no arguments and cats the newly created instance into a Component instance. Note that this method assumes that a) there is a constructor that needs no arguments to be executed and b) the class with the given name is implementing the Constructor interface.

Parameters:

className - the name of the class implementing the Component interface.

Returns:

an instance of that class.

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - - If the class with the given name can not be found.

NoSuchMethodException - - If there is no constructor that needs no parameters.

SecurityException - - If the constructor can not be accessed because of security policies.

InstantiationException - - If the class with the given class name represents an abstract class.

IllegalAccessException - - If the Constructor object is enforcing Java language access control and the underlying constructor is inaccessible.

IllegalArgumentException - - If the number of actual and formal parameters differ; if an unwrapping conversion for primitive arguments fails; or if, after possible unwrapping, a parameter value cannot be converted to the corresponding formal parameter type by a method invocation conversion; if this constructor pertains to an enum type. (Should not occur)

InvocationTargetException - - If the constructor throws an exception.
