How to invoke a method from a class which is loaded Dynamically???

[Murali Obla]

Hello folks,

I have loaded a class dynamically and I have retrieved the methods under that class.I was trying to invoke those mehtods but it's causing exceptions!!!.
Here is the part of my code
[CODE]
Class obj=Class.forName(cTName);
System.out.println("Class Name "+cName);
Method[] list= obj.getDeclaredMethods();
for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
System.out.println("Method "+list[i].getName());
System.out.println("Return Type is "+list[i].getReturnType());
System.out.println("Parameters Required "+list[i].getParameterTypes());
Object methodInvoke = list[i].invoke(obj,null);

}
System.out.println();
[CODE]
I can't understand what getParameterTypes is returning
Folks,Please help me how to invoke the methods???
Thanks in Advance,
Murali

Use the Mthod class in the reflection API.....u have to know the name of the method in order to call it using the same.....

When you invoke a method you have to give it the input parameters that the signature requires. When you used list[i].invoke(obj,null); passing the null was the same as saying "invoke the version of this method that takes no parameters. Well - there might not BE such a method. You use the getParameterTypes to create an array containing objects of the correct types to match what the input parameters for that method are.
So you should pass it an array containing objects of the types that you "created" when you called list[i].getParameterTypes());.
So the call should be
Object methodInvoke = list[i].invoke(obj,list[i].getParameterTypes());
