Jva.lang.reflect and Connection objects

Question

I am not sure in wich forum i should post this, i hope this is the right one.
I have a class that have one constructor like this:
classConstructor(String id, Connection conn)
I am trying to load and use it in runtime using the java.lang.reflect package:
String id = "Some value";
Connection conn = dbcm.getConnection(pool);
className = "Name of the class";
Class theClass = Class.forName(className);
Class classArgs[] = { id.getClass(), conn.getClass() }
Constructor constructor = theClass.getConstructor(classArgs);
At this time i get the NoSuchMethodException, because the conn.getClass() returns oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection instead of java.sql.Connection.
Am i doing something wrong here? Is there any way of getting the return value as java.sql.Connection?
Thanks in advance,

Why not use the following:
Class classArgs[] = { String.class, java.sql.Connection.class };
Constructor constructor = theClass.getConstructor(classArgs);
Actually, the constructor is something you may even want to determine (and use) statically if you repeatedly execute this code.
