Hi,
This is the line: Class ourClass = new Class.forName("com.app.something");
And this is the the error: cannot find symbol class forName
My IDE is Intellij Idea.
This is a particular case, but i want to know what causes this type of error, what should i look for.
Jump to PostThe keyword "new" is wrong here. You are just calling the static method "forName" in the Class class. It's not a constructor.
Class ourClass = Class.forName("com.app.something");

**new **may be confusing the compiler to look for a constructor.
Yes indeed, thank you, sometime you miss those details.
OK. Please mark this "solved"
