Thanks for the reply. Actually my problem will be solved even if I get the set S as you have mentioned. But how do I get the set S?
Is it possible to know the implementors of a given interface using JavaClass? Or should I use a different API? Then using this list I can check if the object of A is an instance of B.

There are a lot of heuristic and approximation algorithms that compiler folks use, like Type-Based alias analysis, which I think comes in 2 flavors, flow sensitive and flow-insensitive. basically, don't expect to discover that the concrete type of the field of type A in C is B. Expect to discover that the concrete type of A is in a set S which happens to contain B. hopefully, i'm misinterpreting your question and you're really asking about something that's solvable. good luck :) Chakravarthy, Srikanth wrote: > Hi, > I am creating a cross reference of classes. > If the classes have direct relations then I get all the related classes. > If there is an object of an interface that will be assigned the value of > the implementing class then I am not able to get that class as one of > the references. > > For example: class B implements Interface A. > In another class C, I have an object of A.
