Passing Class Reference to method

[nekt]

Hello People

Please suggest me the use of passing class reference in a method

Here is the sample code from class A

public Integer[] getReport(Class classname, String sql) {

And, then when it is called inside class C, it is referred to as ,

new A().getReport(B.class, "select * from Table A")

where B is another class

Please give your suggestions on this

Thanks

Nek

This can be used to do runtime type identification. for example

you can do if class is B.class then do one thing and if class is C.class then do other,

this can also be used to use reflection based on class methods.

also check the java.lang.reflection API document for more details on reflection which is a very powerfull API

I may not be understanding the problem, but it seems to me you want to define and implement a common interface here rather than using reflection.

Please could you explain the target?

I don't see anything wrong with what you have, so I'm not really sure what your asking for.
