nullify object
Is there any way I can nullify an object after having created it in a more generic sense rather than specifying its specific name.
e.g. 'object one = new object()' can be nullified by 'one = null',
instead of this I want something along the lines of 'this = null' in the constructor or introduce some break in the constructor to stop an object being created if a criteria is not met.
How can I go about doing this?

Re: nullify object
I understand your advice though can't work me as I use an environment called bluej, where objects are created outside the program code so I can't really force the user to try use a try and catch when they simple create an instance of a class. Thank you for trying.
