dynamically loading a class

[ralph roper]

Is there a way to pass constructor parameters when dynamically loading a class ? ie Class.forName()
The class I am trying to load is related to a database table. Does anyone know if using JDO is a better alternative to dynamically loading a class ? (.. or am I completely off the track here
?)

Use the Class.getConstructor(Class[] parameterTypes) method and then get a new instance from that Constructor using Constructor.newInstance(Object[] initargs)
