GWT Dynamic loading using GWT.create() with String literals instead of Class literals

Question

GWT.create() is the reflection equivalent in GWT, But it take only class literals, not fully qualified String for the Class name. How do i dynamically create classes with

Answer 1

What exactly is the question - i am guessing you wish to pass parameters in addition to the class literal to a generator.

As you probably already know the class literal passed to GWT.create() is mostly a selector so that GWT can pick and execute a generator which in the end spits out a class. The easist way to pass a parameter to the generator is to use annotations in an interface and pass the interface.class to GWT.create(). Note of course the interface/class must extend the class literal passed into GWT.create().

class Selector{
}

@Annotation("string parameter...")
class WithParameter extends Selector{}

Selector instance = GWT.create( WithParameter.class )
