As far as I know, dynamic casting like this can't be done in Java due to the
language's strong typing, so you need to start messing around with
java.lang.reflect, in exactly the way Owen described in his "SOLVED" post.
Hope I'm not missing something?

Is this what you're looking for?
public getOtherObjects(String entity, NSArray objects) {
for(int i=0;i<objects.count();i++) {
Object tempOb =
(Class.forName(entity))array.objectAtIndex(0);
}
}
