Loading a Class from a String

Question

I want to instantiate a class by the value of a String. I found several tutorials that show several methods for doing this. The class MUST inherit from a certain interface

Answer 1

Here's how I would do it:

ImplementMe noCastNeeded = 
    this.getClassLoader()
        .loadClass("my.package.IImplementedYou")
        .asSubclass(ImplementMe.class).newInstance();

There are some Exceptions to catch but that's ok I think. :)
