Even if you know the class name, there is no guarantee that an instance of that Action exists, since Action instances are created as needed. And even if an instance does exist, what would be the purpose of accessing it? An Action instance should not maintain state, since that will cause threading problems, and if you need to access class data, then you do not need an instance. Perhaps if you tell us what you are trying to achieve, we can help you find the right way to do that. -- Martin Cooper > > If there is any other way, can someone please let me know > > thanks a lot > > lirian > > > > > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
