Thread: placing packages of the same directory into an array

as above, isit possible?

src packages

the problem is, say i cant import all the packages in src.

example:
import src.*;
get what i mean?

if i can import them then putting them in an array wouldnt be a problem :'(!!!

yeah man, thats something i wanna do like what i posted in my previous thread. trying to read on it. im a nub hehe
thanks helloworld

yeah, reflection is totally what i need. using strings to get classes and its methods. wooo

Just out of interest, what are you actually trying to achieve?

running other classes in a class automatically

Can you explain what you mean by that, or give an example situation?

using the string i retrieve from the server, i am able to link that string to those classes using reflection

final Class<?> clazz = Class.forName("my.class.package.and.name.Here");
final Object object = clazz.newInstance();

Now just cast it to whatever it is you know it will be or use more reflection on the object to run methods.

// Json

thanks was able to do it. here's my code

 
ClassLoader classLoader = RunExistingBuildAndTestplan.class
				.getClassLoader();
try{
Class aClass = classLoader.loadClass("testscripts." + caseName
					+ "." + caseName);
			System.out.println("aClass.getName() = " + aClass.getName());
 
			Method mainMethod = aClass.getMethod("main",
					new Class[] { String[].class });
 
			mainMethod.invoke(null, new Object[] { new String[] { "", "" } });
}

Grats, nice to see you solved your problem.

If you're running the main(..) method, wouldn't it be simpler to use Runtime.exec(..) to execute the other application, or do you have to share the same JVM ?

yup, sharing the same jvm. does it allow multiple classes run at the same time?
