You got to include one more step as mentioned below. Class classDefinition = Class.forName(ClassName_as_string); Object obj = classDefinition.newInstance(); classDefinition afc = (obj)fm;
Anil. -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Hartmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 1:47 PM To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: dynamic casting in Action class Hello! I've got the following problem in an action-class: I dynamically want to retrieve the ActionForm class, which has been called before the Action-class. Statically, I do this with ActionFormClass afc = (afc)fm; How is it done dynamically? I've got the String name of the desired Class-Name in an Hashtable. I tried it with reflection, but stuck: Class classDefinition = Class.forName(ClassName_as_string); classDefinition afc = (classDefinition)fm; The last line gives the error: cannot find symbol classDefinition symbol : class classDefinition Has anybody an idea, how to do it?
