Lil confused by code -- please take a look

[Dave Brosius]

In org.apache.xalan.xsltc.dom.NodeSortRecord   In the method:       public final void initialize(int node, int last, DOM dom,          SortSettings settings)   Is the following lines (line 112-114 in my copy of the source)                   Object candObj = ObjectFactory.findProviderClass(                     colFactClassname, ObjectFactory.findClassLoader(), true);                 _collatorFactory = (CollatorFactory)candObj;     It seems to me that findProviderClass returns a Class - type object. So the assignment to a CollatorFactory - inferface seems to me to be wrong.   Or am i confused?   --dave
