Object new(Object cls);

i.e. it calls

org.zkoss.xel.fn.CommonFns

Instantiates the given class. It assumes the given class has a default constructor.

Paramters

  • cls - the class. It could be an instance of either String or Class.

Usage

You can use it to convert a number to the correct type(class), ${c:int(1)}.

Notice that a number specified in EL is interpreted as long by default. For example, in ${c:new('foo.Mine', 10)}, 10 is interpreted as long. If you’re using 5.0.5 and prior, you have to convert it to integer manually : ${c:new('foo.Mine', c:int(10))}.
