How to load a Class Dynamically?

Question

hi,
I have the following problem.I am trying to load a class dynamically.For this I am using ClassLoader and its Loadclass method.My code is like this,
File file = filechooser.getSelectedFile();
ClassLoader Cload = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
String tempClsname= file.getName();
Class cd =Cload.loadClass(tempClsname);
Object ob =(Object)cd.newInstance();
showMethods(ob);
In showMethods what i am doing is getting the public methods of the dynamically loaded class,
void showMethods(Object o){
Class c = o.getClass();
System.out.println(c.getName());
vecList = new Vector();
Method theMethods[] = c.getDeclaredMethods();
for (int i = 0; i < theMethods.length; i++) {
if(theMethods.getModifiers()==java.lang.reflect.Modifier.PUBLIC)
String methodString = theMethods.getName();
System.out.println(methodString);
vecList.addElement(methodString);
allmthdlst.setListData(vecList);
Now whenever i work with this i m getting a runtime error of CLASS NOT FOUND Exception..I know its because of Classpath..But i don't know how to resolve it??pls help me in this regard...
Also previously this code was working with java files in the directory in which this java file was present..How to make it work for java file in some other directory..pls help me in this regard...
Thanks in advance..

You sure didn't need to post this twice.

When you post code, please use [code] and [/code] tags as described in Formatting Help on the message entry page. It makes it much easier to read and prevents accidental markup from array indices like [i].
You resolve this problem by ensuring the class is in the classpath and you refer to it by its full name.
