Load class file which resides in local path c:\

[praveen.kb]

Hi

I wanted to load and run class file residing under local path from my project.
I am using Class.forName() to accomplish this. Its successfully loading if the the class resides within package.But the class file has to be kept in local drive say C:\
I tried this way..
Class _class2 = Class.forName("C:/HelloWorld");
Where HelloWorld is a class residing in C:\

How can i approach this? Is this way wrong? Do i need to use some other way? Please help.

Is that file extension is required? I'm not sure, better to check.

Read the API doc for the forName() method. It takes a class name, not a path.
Look at the getResource() method
Or perhaps you need a custom class loader
