Static and Dynamic class loading

[Ravi Kiran Va]

Hi

Can anybody let me know what is meant by static class loading and Dynamic class loading ??

From one of the book it is said described as
Static class loading is

A a = new A(); // A is a class

Dynamic Class Loading :

Class Test = Class.forName("A"); // A is a class

Is this correct ??

It is irrelevent to the OP 's Question .

@OP: see this Javaranch discussion . particularly, *Ernest Friedman-Hill* reply

I agree, "static class loading" is misleading. The difference is when we're deciding what class to load--not when it's loaded.
