Reflection to load a class

Hi,
I am newbie to JAVA. Can anyone tell me how to use reflection to load a class and call a method on the created object through reflection API?

Thank you very much for the reply.
But this is the exercise I have to do. I started
learning JAVA since 15 days. Even if this is
difficult, I ll try to grab whatever possible. Please
gimme a very simple example or good links.
Thanks again,
BasavFair enough. Don't say I didn't warn you
Class clazz  = Class.forName("com.mydomain.myapp.MyClass";
Object obj = clazz.newInstance();
Method performAction = clazz.getDeclaredMethod("doSomething", new Class[0] );
Object result = performAction.invoke(obj, new Object[0]);Don't bother asking for any explanation of what it means, or for any help when it doesn't work. You've been coding a whole 15 days, you're obviously ready for this by now, and should know exactly what it's all about and how to fix any problems that arise

  • Loading a class via reflection without knowing the full qualified path ?

    Hi there
    I d like to load a class via reflection and call the constructor of the class object. My problem is that I dont know the full qulified name e.g. org.xyz.Classname bur only the Classname.
    I tried different things but none seem to work:
         1. Class c = Class.forName("Classname");  //does not suffice, full qualified name required
    2. ClassLoader classloader = java.lang.ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
             try {
               Class cl = classloader.loadClass(stripFileType(Filename));//if i do not pass the full qualified name i get a ClassNotFoundException
    3. I tried to consruct a class object with my own classloader , calling:
              Class cl = super.defineClass(null, b, 0, b.length );     b is of type byte[]This almost works. I get a class Object without knowing the full qulified path. I can transform a filename into a raw array of bytes and I get the class out of it. But there is still a problem: If there are more than on classes defined in the same textfile I get an InvocationTargetException.
    It looks like this:

        this.adaptee = adaptee;
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        adaptee.jButton1_actionPerformed(e);
    }As you can see there is the class TransformationDemo_jButton1_actionAdapter class defined in the same classfile. The problem is now that the twoButtons constructor calls the TransfomationDemo_jButton1_actionAdapter constructor and this leads to InvocationTargetException. I dont know if this is a java bug because it should be possible.
    Can you help me?

    hi thanks at first,
    the thing you mentioned could be a problem, but I dont think it is.
    If I have the full qualified name (which I havent) then everything goes normal. I only have to load the "twoButtons" class and not the other (actionadapter class), so I dont think this is the point. In this case the twoButtons constructor constructs an object of the actionadapter class and everything goes well. The bad thing is though that I do not have the full qulified name :(
    Invocation target exception tells me (in own words): Tried to acces the constructor of the actionadapter class (which is not public) out of class reflectionTest class .
    reflectionTest is the class where the reflection stuff happens and the twoButttons class is defineClass() ed.
    The problem is, only twoButtons class has the rights to call methods from the actionadapter class, the reflection class does not. BUT: I do not call the actionadapter methods from the reflection class. I call them only from the twoButtons class.
    I hope somebody understands my problem :)

  • How to load a class dynamically (via reflection) in a jsf-component

    Hi all,
    I am writing my own jsf component and I would like to do it generically. Therefore I have an attribute, where the developer can pass a fully qualified classname, which I want to use to instantiate. But I have a Problem with the classloaders, everytime I get a ClassNotFound-Exception during debugging.
    Does anybody know how it is possible, to to get the most parent classloader?
    Currently I am even not able to load a class, which is in the same package like all other compontent-classes.
    Thank you very much in advance
    Thomas

    Within web applications, I believe it is recommended to use Thread.getContextClassLoader(). Keep in mind that web applications require different classloader semantics than regular Java applications. The class loader which gets resources from the WAR is favored over others, even when this violates the normal class loading conventions.

  • How to load a Class Dynamically?

    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.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?thread=522234&forum=31&message=2498659
    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.

  • How to load a .class file dynamically?

    Hello World ;)
    Does anyone know, how I can create an object of a class, that was compiled during the runtime?
    The facts:
    - The user puts a grammar in. Saved to file. ANTLR generates Scanner and Parser (Java Code .java)
    - I compile these file, so XYScanner.class and XYParser.class are available.
    - Now I want to create an object of XYScanner (the classnames are not fixed, but I know the filename). I tried to call the constructor of XYScanner (using reflection) but nothing works and now I am really despaired!
    Isn't there any way to instantiate the class in a way like
    Class c = Class.forName("/home/mark/XYScanner");
    c scan = new c("input.txt");
    The normal call would be:
    XYLexer lex = new XYLexer(new ANTLRFileStream("input.txt"));The problem using reflection is now that the parameter is a ANTLRFileStream, not only an Integer, as in this example shown:
    Class cls = Class.forName("method2");
    Class partypes[] = new Class[2];
    partypes[0] = Integer.TYPE;
    partypes[1] = Integer.TYPE;
    Method meth = cls.getMethod("add", partypes);
    method2 methobj = new method2();
    Object arglist[] = new Object[2];
    arglist[0] = new Integer(37);
    arglist[1] = new Integer(47);
    Object retobj = meth.invoke(methobj, arglist);
    Integer retval = (Integer)retobj;
    System.out.println(retval.intValue());Has anyone an idea? Thanks for each comment in advance!!!

    Dump all of your class files into a directory.
    Use the File class to list all files and iterateover
    the files.NastyNot really, when you are dynamically creating code, I would expect the output to be centralized, not spread out all over the place.

    Use a URLClassloader to load the URL that isobtained
    for each file with file.toURI().toURL()(file.toURL()
    is depricated in 1.6)Wrong, the URL you give it must be that of the
    directory, not the class file.No, I did this quite recently, you can give it a specific class file to load.
    >
    Load all of the classes in this directory, thatway
    any anonymous classes are loaded as well.Anonymous classes automatically loaded when the real
    one isIt can't load it if it doesn't know where the code is. Since you haven't used a URL classloader to load once class file at a time, you would never encounter this. But if you loaded a class file that had an anonymous classfile it needed, would it know where to look for it?
    >
    From this point you should be able to just get a
    class with Class.forName(name)No. Class.forName uses the classloader of the class
    it's called in, which will be the system classloader.
    It won't find classes loaded by a URLClassLoader.got me there.

  • LoadClass    (error loading a class which extends other class  at run-time)

    Hey!
    I'm using the Reflection API
    I load a class called 'SubClass' which exists in a directory called 'subdir' at run-time from my program
    CustomClassLoader loader = new CustomClassLoader();
    Class classRef = loader.loadClass("SubClass");
    class CustomClassLoader extends ClassLoader. I have defined 'findClass(String className)' method in CustomClassLoader.
    This is what 'findClass(String className)' returns:
    defineClass (className,byteArray,0,byteArray.length);
    'byteArray' is of type byte[] and has the contents of subdir/SubClass.
    the problem:
    The program runs fine if SubClass does not extend any class.
    If however, SubClass extends another class, the program throws a NoClassDefFoundError. How is it conceptually different?
    Help appreciated in Advance..
    Thanks!

    Because i'm a newbie to the Reflection thing, i'm notI don't see reflection anywhere. All I see is class loading.
    sure what role does the superclass play when i'm
    trying to load the derived class and how to get away
    with the errorWell... hint: all the superclass's stuff is not copied into the subclass.
    I am quite sure it fails to load the superclass because of classpath issues.

  • Loading a class not on classpath

    how can we load a class not on classpath?

    uddinr0121 wrote:
    try this
    private void addArchive(File jarFile) throws IOException {

    URLClassLoader sysloader = (URLClassLoader) ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();

    method.setAccessible(true);
    method.invoke(sysloader, new Object[]{u});
    } catch (Throwable t) {

    }this will add the jar file to the classpath after which you should be able to invoke using Class.forName()
    hope this helpsThat's a horrible solution, when you can just create a new URLClassLoader and use that to load the class.
    Adding it to the system classpath with reflection trickery is not really a clean solution to that.

    Can somebody tell me, what is going on

    Gseel is right: you try to instantiate an EJB with the BDK.
    Enterprise Java Beans are totally different from graphical/GUI beans. EJBs are thought for dealing with business logic like accessing a database, ldap directory and so on. They run on a application server (simply speaking - a java enabled webserver) and do some processing to handle user requests. Enterprise Java Beans usually don't interact directly with the user, they only do the work in the background and forward their results, which are then rendered for the user. Typically they are employed for handling web requests (a user with a browser), but they can also be used for awt/swing applications. Though - let me repeat - they don't appear visually on the screen.
    The only similarities between those two bean types are the following: they have getter/setter methods for their properties, they implement Serializeable (or a sub-interface like Externalizable, Remote) and they have a default no-argument constructor.
    If you want to run your been you need an application server (your bean is pre-packaged for the Bea Weblogic app-server). If you want to do something graphical, you'll need to search for GUI beans.

    I have a similar problem. I am writing a program to read the class names from database and instantiate several classes which extends from ServiceThread (an abstract class extending from Thread).
    rs = pStmt.executeQuery();
    while(rs.next()) {
    String threadclassname = rs.getString("classname").trim();
    try{
    ServiceThread threadinstance = (ServiceThread)Class.forName(threadclassname).newInstance();
    }catch ...
    So far, only the first class is ever instantiated and runs fine. But subsequent classes do not even get pass the "... ... Class.forName(...).newInstance();" line.
    Funny thing is that there are also no exceptions. The JVM just seem to hang there.

    I am receiving the following error in most all of the logs when trying to run/test this web service. The service worked fine a day ago, then this happened. I finally rebuilt it entirely in workshop, it ran a couple of times between changes and then started producing this error again. The workshop test browser either states "DispMessage is null" on the test form or if the form appears then it says "get" is not supported for the operation .... and maybe other weird stuff.
    Can you give me an idea of where to specifically look for the problem?? Complete error message is below:

    FYI - solved this problem. The problem was that I had set a callback handler as an operation like so:
    * @common:operation
    * @common:message-buffer enable="true"
    * @jws:conversation phase="finish"
    public void mycontrol_mycallbackhandler()
    Apparently callback handler's can not be operations.

  • Was unable to load data class info from sync services.  try again later.

    Since installing the latest version of itunes (11.1.5.5) whenever I have either mine or my wife's iphones (4 and 5c, both with the latest 7.1.1) turned on and I start iTunes, I receive the error message saying that itunes was unable to load data class info from sync services.  try again later.
    If I leave the phones turned off and open iTunes, I am able to sync my old ipod so it appears to be an issue with the software on the phones? 
    I'm just not sure where to start.  I've made sure that itunes has the latest version and no more updates are available.
    Thanks in advance,

  • ITunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later.

    Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 10.4 I've been getting this dreaded message on many occasions when I try to sync my iPhone 4 or iPad 2 with my Win 7 64 bit machine. "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." What happens is that local content (music, videos etc) will sync properly to my iPhone, but other content (such as Outlook information, MobileMe stuff, etc) will not.
    I have uninstalled and completely purged all Apple data from my PC (including hidden files and folders under Common Files and in the Registry) and reinstalled iTunes. Yet after one or two syncs, the same problem resurfaces. The other weird part is that the Sync Services crap-out message will happen after I do a successful sync, leave the iPhone connected to the PC, and don't even touch the computer for several hours.
    I've actually developed a very tedious work around that seems to restore syncing if for a short time.
    - Undock/unconnect all Apple devices from the PC.
    - Close iTunes, MobileMe control panel, and Safari (if you have it).
    - Start Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and shut down iTunesHelper.exe and SyncServer.exe
    - Open up a Windows Explorer window (like My Computer) and under Tools, Folder Options, View, toggle on Show Hidden Files and toggle off Hide Protected Operating System FIles
    - In WIndows Explorer, navigate to "C:\Users\<your name>\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer". Rename the folder Sync Services to something else, like Sync Services_Old.
    - In WIndows Explorere, navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support" and double-click on AppleSyncNotifier.exe.
    - Go back to your Folder Options and turn off SHow Hidden Files and toggle on Hide Protected Operationg System Files
    Now you can start up iTunes again and connect your device. It should sync properly again (at least, until it doesn't once more).
    Does anyone at Apple have any idea about this error or a solution?

    I actually spent a fair amount of time on the phone with a senior Apple tech last week. He directed me to this topic:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US
    It's important that you go through the steps EXACTLY as described here and in the proper order. Also make sure MobileMe control panel is uninstalled (if you have it).
    Interestingly, when I went through this procedure and then reinstalled iTunes 10.4 64-bit  (didn't do MobileMe or Safari at this stage, but QT is automatically installed) everything worked perfectly. The aforementioned error messages disappeared and all is working flawlessly, as it should.
    I hope my expereince will help! Give it a try.
