Covergroup instance creation using create() method

Hi,
If I have class object extending from ovm_sequence_item and I also create a covergroup in the same class. Normally the covergroup instance is new’d in the new function of class. However if the class object is created using create() method, how do we create the covergroup instance?
Ex:

class my_trans extends ovm_sequence_item;
int no_one;
int some_one;
covergroup my_trans_c;
coverpoint no_one;
coverpoint some_one;

endgroup

function new();
no_one = 1;
some_one = 0;
my_trans_c = new();
endfunction
endclass

When my trans is created using create() method, is the new(0 function automatically called? if not, how do I handle this.
Any pointer in this regard would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Anshu. S

The UVM factory create() method delegates the call to the constructor new() for you.
