  • Cool thanks, I actually had something like this in mind but I planned to omit the factory classes, put class references in the map (instead of the factories), and then create the function by getting and invoking the constructor via reflection. But that would probably not by very effective I think... Commented Jan 20, 2015 at 17:49

    In general, avoid reflection if you can. It adds complexity that can be avoided. Factories are complicated enough without it. Commented Jan 20, 2015 at 17:53
