instantiating the class whose name is stored in a string

[Harathi Rao]

Hi,
I have a small requirement. I have a string variable holding the name of the class. I want to get the object of that class using that string variable.

For ex. String str = "Test";
I want get the object of class 'Test' using string variable str.

Please guide me how to do it

Thanks
Harathi

try{
  Object myClass = Class.forName("com.mycompany.MyClass").newInstance();
}catch(Exception e){
 // a few throwables
}
