Hi David,
It's a mystery to me as well. It's probably wrong, too.
But the corner case would be two classes with the same name from
different class loaders, and the subject code itself looks like it's
broken.

Hi All,
I've got a situation in which my Java-bound policy imports an

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.
