Define object of a class derived from a string variable -

following use case:

invoker class (with main method)

public class invoker {    public static void main(string[] args) {           string class_file="batch_status";       } } 

class invoked (with same method name of class name, e.g. in case batch_status)

import java.util.*;  public class batch_status {      public static void batch_status(string args) {       ......      ......code goes here      ......         } } 

now problem not able define object such test in invoker class using value of string class_file such class_file test = new class_file();

above snippet, in production code values in string variable vary , each value, different class file (the name of class file same of value of string variable).

please suggest.

regards

this code demonstrates being able retrieve class instance given string:

string classstring = "com.rbs.testing.test";     try {         class c = class.forname(classstring);         test test = (test) c.newinstance();     } catch (classnotfoundexception e) {         e.printstacktrace();     } catch (instantiationexception e) {         e.printstacktrace();     } catch (illegalaccessexception e) {         e.printstacktrace();     } 

if don't know class cast yet, can dump

c.newinstance(); 

into object class, use if else clauses until find out class type contained in object.

object o =  c.newinstance(); if (o instanceof test) { } else if(o instanceof test2) { 

i hope helps. sorry if misunderstood need.
