If I have a Class.forName() is that considered to be thread unsafe as its behaviour is unpredictable?
Should I use Thread.getContextClassLoader.loadClass to load the class instead ?

I don't understand the question - what do you mean by "its behaviour is unpredictable"???

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus
