Using a switch statement would probably be the simplest way, however my current objective is mainly to develop the engine itself and to make it as generic as possible. Searching a bit on google I found the XStream library, which seems pretty good for instantiating unknown objects. I didn't consider the idea of using an existing library, but maybe it is a good idea, you know, the "not reinventing the wheel" thing hehe! | |
