introspection of child classes given a package name

[jason white]

Here is a strange problem that I don't know how to solve:

Given a package name: "com.foo" find all objects within that package.

I have looking in javax.naming, Class, ClassLoader...not sure where to go...

I feel like there is probably a simple answer but no one seems to know it...

No, I don't think there's any simple way to do that.

[jason white]

moderator, can you point me in the right direction on this maybe?

You can take the classpath, iterate through all the directories in it and see what you find. All zip and jar file files in it need to be opened and inspected as well. Like Peter says, there is no ready-made API for this.
