I see your point. Maybe I should clarify myself a bit. Each handler has it's own configuration. For instance there is an email-handler. Which sends an email to a specific email-address when a file arrives in the 'watched' directory. The handler also has some other attributes such as the subject of the email message, reply-to address and so on....
Therefore I would like to make my Handler class a MBean. So I can easily set these properties using the JMXConsole. (Also taking advantage of persistent attributes, etc)... That is why I would like to lookup the Handler class using the MBeanServer. But, from the documentation I only see a way to get the class over RMI. (RMIAdaptor). But, since I'm on the same VM, I think this will not be nessecary. What would be the way to go here?

One simple solution might be to create a HandlerFactory that knows the mapping of the different file types to the Handlers that handle them. Your code might look like this: Handler handler = HandlerFactory.createHandler(File file); But I'm confused about your wish to be able to specify which kind of Handler is used by a specific Watcher. If that is the case, why not just give the Watcher the name of the class it has to instantiate as a parameter? -- Jeroen > > There are about 20 different handlers but they all implement > the interface > Handler.java: > > public interface Handler { > public void handle(File file); > } > > I have written all the code...
