Because I am trying to load a parameter type from an xml file that
just has the string name of the type.

No new feature. Class.forName docs say you can load arrays but it is
broken. Here is the code I use now:
private Class convertToJavaClass(String name) throws DeploymentException {
// Check primitive first
for (int i = 0; i < PRIMITIVES.length; i++) {
if(name.equals(PRIMITIVES[i])) {
return PRIMITIVE_CLASSES[i];
}
}
int arraySize = 0;
while(name.endsWith("[]")) {
name = name.substring(0, name.length()-2);
arraySize++;
}
try {
// get the base class
Class c = entity.getClassLoader().loadClass(name);
// if we have an array get the array class
if(arraySize > 0) {
int[] dimensions = new int[arraySize];
for(int i=0; i<arraySize; i++) {
dimensions[i]=1;
}
c = Array.newInstance(c, dimensions).getClass();
}
return c;
} catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
throw new DeploymentException("Parameter class not found: " +
name);
}
}
This is lame but works.
