I'm not sure I understand the difference between: Class.forName(name, false, Thread.getContextClassLoader()).newInstance() and Thread.getContextClassLoader().loadClass(name).newInstance() But for my delegating factory only the second one works. Thanks all for the previous replies, I have my Preferences stuff running now and think I understand a little more about how the class loading works. brian wallis... ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
