Java Constructor call

Question

Is there any other way to call constructor, other than new object creation from new operator?

I think when constructor chaining happens in inheritance then also constructor gets called but it does not create parent class object.

Actually -- what specifically are you asking here? – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Apr 15 '17 at 12:09 — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, Apr 15 '17 at 12:09

Yes and no, one way is to have your contructor call some method:

public class SomeClass {
    public SomeClass() {
        init();
    }

    public final void init() {
        // do something
    }
}

Then call init() again later when needed
