Hi All,

I've got a situation in which my Java-bound policy imports an interface, 
but the implementation is provided by a class in a package I do not have 
access to.  This leads to problems in the JavaActuator.invokeMethod() 
method which does the following:


c = Class.forName(instance.getClass().getName());


Class.forName() is throwing ClassNotFoundException, which on the face of 
it seems strange since we already have the class in instance.getClass(). 
So, this is my question,  "why doesn't this code just do 
c=instance.getClass()?'  This is probably some subtly of Java that I'm not 
aware of.  Your teachings  will be much appreciated.  thanks.
