Ben, All the forName() method does is return an object of type Class - which doesn't actually give you a instance of the object. A Class Object is only basically a descriptor that tells you about the class the you want to look at.
You can get an instance of the object from the class, but passing arguments into Contructors is a real pain the rear through reflection - hence leveraging JavaProxy makes sense as the CF developers already did the hard work to do the required translation from CF to Java for us. Does that make sense?
