Re: How can I get a class by it's name and then construct it?

Hi Shedokan,

you can do this on the server, not on the client. A few weeks ago,
I ran into the same problem.

Here is my solution:

-> send the string with the classname to the srever.
-> then do the following:

myClass = Class.forName(className);
Constructor myConstr = myClass.getDeclaredConstructor();
myModule = myConstr.newInstance();

Note that myModule is in my case an interface, and every class,
which you
construct with Reflection, implements this inteerface.

return myModule;

Return myModule/your generated class to the client/GWT, and you can
use
it there.

I think it´s a really nice solution. Just try it.
