Creating a new object, and populating its properties, using Java Reflection

Hello,

I need to invoke a method via reflection,

Method.invoke(Objeto, arg);

• Object - > object created from Class.newInstance ()
• arg - > It's the value I want to spend. And I know it's a String.

But the Parameter of the method I do not know, and if the parameter is something other than an Error String.

Then to know the type of the parameter, I look for it through reflection

type = Method.getParameterTypes()[0]

The question is how to transform the String arg variable into an Object of type type?

public static Object bindClass(Class c, Map<String, String> param) {
   //Novo objeto do tipo Class 
   Object newInstance = c.newInstance(); 

   for(String key : param.keySet()) {
       String value = param.get(Key);
       String nomeMetodo = "set" + key;
       Method method = null;

       for(Method m : newInstance.getClass().getDeclaredMethods()){
            if(m.getName().equals(nomeMetodo)){
                    method = m;
                    break;
            }
        }

        Class type = method.getParameterTypes()[0];


       //Fazer um CAST de value(String) para type 


       //Aqui é necessário passar um 'value' do mesmo tipo do método invocado, e nem sempre é o tipo String 
       method.invoke(newInstance, value);

    }
}
