Hi,
I am using a factory class to build instances. the factory method looks
like:

<code>
class MyFactory{
Item getItem(String key){
..}
}
</code>

and the key and class are configured in a file
key=com.abcd.ClassA
b=com.abcd.B

<code>Item</code> is an interface implemented by some of the above
classes mentioned inside the cofiguration file.

I want the factory class to read the configuration file and then
instantiate the given class and as a return value. But I have no idea
how to instantiate the class. I tried Class.forName() and seesm it is
not a good solution to this problem.
