Dynamically loading a class in Java

Question

I looked up the syntax and searched the api but am still confused about the process. I also searched Stackoverflow. What is the proper way to load a class and create an obj

Answer 1

Here is what I got working. This is not a finihsed product, but is just test to see if I could get it to work. Thank you to everyone that answered the questoin :-).

public class SimLoader {  
  public static void main(String[] args)  
  {  
    try  
    {  
    Object simulator = Class.forName("SimX").newInstance();  
    ((SimInterface)simulator).run();  
    }  
    catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {}  
    catch(InstantiationException e) {}  
    catch(IllegalAccessException e) {}  
    }  
  }  
interface SimInterface {  
 void run();  
}  
class SimX implements SimInterface  
{  
  public void run() {  
    System.out.println("Success");  
  }  
}
