Hello,

I'm writing a file parser that needs to the results of it parsing into
a particular class. In the name of good code re-use in the future I
didn't want this particular class name (AddressItem.class in this
case) to be hard coded. Instead I pass a String with the name of the
class to the constructor and do something of the following order:

String className = "AddressItem.class";
Class classObj = Class.forName(className);
Method[] mList = classObj.getMethods();
//Instantiation:
Object item = classObj.newInstance();

So I have new instance object and a Method ArrayList which contains
the names of the methods in the Class. But what I don't understand is
how to call a particular method using it's name?

Many Thanks,

Saad Mahamood.
