dynamic casting in Action class

[Andreas Hartmann <an...@freenet.de>]

Hello!

I've got the following problem in an action-class: I dynamically want to
retrieve the ActionForm class, which has been called before the Action-class.

Statically, I do this with
ActionFormClass afc = (afc)fm;


How is it done dynamically? I've got the String name of the desired
Class-Name in an Hashtable. I tried it with reflection, but stuck:

Class classDefinition = Class.forName(ClassName_as_string);
classDefinition afc = (classDefinition)fm;


The last line gives the error:

cannot find symbol classDefinition
symbol  : class classDefinition



Has anybody an idea, how to do it?

Thanks,
Andreas
