I've changed it to instance.getClass(), passed all tests and checked it in.

Did you see any issues using instance.getClass() ?

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.
