for calling the method use the following code...
i.e. Type cast the Object you created and call the method.
((Ext1)o).returnSomething();
Thanks

Hi all
I need help with dynamically loading classes using the forName(..) method
of Class.
I have a servlet which gets a 'application name' as a parameter -
'application name' is nothing but name of a Java class.
Say the 'application name' is "Ext1", we have a class called 'Ext1.class'
containing a set of methods.
public class Ext1 {
public static String returnSomething(String sParam1) {
return "return from Ext1.returnSomething() with argument=" + sParam1;
}
}
Now, my servlet contains the following code:
....
import java.lang.reflect.*;
....
String sApplName = "Ext1";
Class c = Class.forName (sApplName);
Object o = c.newInstance();
Now, I want to invoke 'returnSomething(..)' method and get the return
string value.
How do I do it?
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Puneet
