Class.forName vs Class literal

[A Kumar]

Hi all,

Whats the difference between what a
Class Literal does and the method..Class.forName(...) does..?

Where do we make use of them...?

You could not do this with a literal class.

public Object factory(String dynamic)
{
    Class klass = Class.forName(dynamic);
    return klass.newInstance();
}
