To get object of class which is being passed must be implementing an interface.
Find the sample interface and implementing class//interface
package com.concretepage.lang;
public interface ITest {
public void show();
}
//implementing class
package com.concretepage.lang;
public class Test implements ITest {
public void show() {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
//now main class to get object
package com.concretepage.lang;
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException{
Class<?> c = Class.forName("com.concretepage.lang.Test");
Object ob = c.newInstance();
ITest test = (ITest)ob;
test.show();
}
}
Output
Hello World!
Keep in mind that if we do not have interface for the passing class which is being passed in forName() method then typecasting will throw error.
