i have an application that uses hybernate for persistence in java, but at the same time i use a classloader for importing pluggins to the application.

My problem is that i dunno the name of the class i have in a table, i know the name of the interface or the abstract class that is implement or extended... and when i use in the xml for example:

Node should be the father class... and is the class that is extended from all the pluggins i want to load from outside the application.

The application load the father class when i want to load an external class that is in a pluggin... i know the name of the class at execution time, but i don't know how can i load it propperly for using it as the son, and not as the father...

can anybody help me?

Thanks to all! and sorry about my pour english ;)

or any way for getting the classes telling the name of the class in execution time... the classes have the same attributes, so in the table there is no difference...

anybody can help me?

thanks to all

or any way for loading some classes from only one table? taking the value from a column of the table that says which class is is?

thanks to all!!
