I was working on validation for @Init, when I had to load a primitive type Class.forName(String) style. Had to write up a little utility to do that, and then it struck me that there is this org.apache.openejb.util package which contains some really cool utilities. A quick glance and I found this wonderful utility class named Classes which had a much better way of loading the class.
Just wanted to send everybody a little reminder that it would save a lot of time to look through this package before you try and write something of your own. Hopefully you should find the stuff you are looking for. It would also be nice if you already know of some utilities in this package which you often use. Chances are, I might be needing the same at some point, your input will save me time. Thanks! -- Karan Singh Malhi
