You're on the right track. The call Class.forname should take a full
package path to work. For instance,
Class.forname("java.lang.String");
It's also the case that this call should be made inside of a try block:
try
{
Class c = Class.forName("java.lang.String");
PortableRemoteObject.narrow(name,c);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// !!! couldn't find java.lang.String
}
Reference Java in a Nutshell page 148 for more info on this form of
reflection.

p.s. - this page also gives cool information about invoking methods if you
know the name. This could come in handy for setting up generic clients to
call get and set methods.

Subject: [jBoss-User] dynamically get a class
Hello,
I have some stateless Sessionbeans which are all named after a
specific pattern [XML_DOCTYPE]Update{Bean|Home}. They all "implement" a
remoteinterface named Update.
How can I dynamically (depending of the DocumentType of the input) get
the right class for the "PortableRemoteObject.narrow(name, class)"
command? I tried something like that:
PortableRemoteObject.narrow("catalogUpdateHome",Class.forname("catalogUpdate
Home.class"))
but it only gives a ClassNotFoundException.
