Hi,

I am using the reflection API to construct instances of a class. I am doing
this
because I am working with a ORB. I supply the class name and a vector of
objects that
make up the constructor arguments.

All works fine but, sometimes an argument is not needed and a null is used.
A null however
cannot provide a class instance that is used for obtaining the constructor.

Question: Besides creating a new contructor that simply does not use that
parameter,
does anyone know of an elegant way to solve this problem?

TIA.
