Question

I have a Java file named Customer.java, in a folder d:/sample directory. But when I use Class.forName("d:/sample/Customer") it throws an exception as file not found. I tried with Class.forName("d:/sample/Customer.java") also but get the same exception. Can any one help me?

Answer 1

1: class to be loaded

package com.test;
class Example{
    //empty class
}

2: save the file to : d:/example/com/test/Example.java

2: compile the class:

javac  d:/example/com/test/Example.java

…

3: write test class:

package com.test;
class MainClass{
    public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception{
        System.out.println(Class.forName("com.test.Example"));
    }
}

4: compile the class:

javac  d:/example/com/test/MainClass.java

…

5: run the program:

java -cp D:/example/ com.test.MainClass

result:

class com.test.Example
