Maybe I do not have my mind wrapped around this thing right. I could use some help please.

I read in a file that lists the objects I need and can create the objects. Now how can I use those objects to access their methods and stuff?

Here's the setup using psuedo and real code:

			

			public static void main(String[] args){
			

			/**
			

			* Read in a file that lists the objects
			

			* I need. For example, SubThing1,
			

			* SubThing2, SubThing3, etc ...
			

			*/
			

			while reading in file{
			

			String name = name of object;
			

			try{
			

			Object object = null;
			

			Class classDef = Class.forName("com.symphonyinc." + name);
			

			object = classDef.newInstance();
			

			}catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe){
			

			cnfe.printStackTrace();
			

			}catch(IllegalAccessException iae){
			

			iae.printStackTrace();
			

			}catch(InstantiationException ie){
			

			ie.printStackTrace();
			

			}
			

			}
			

			}
			

		

			

			public Class Thing{
			

			public Thing(){ initialize stuff }
			

			various methods here
			

			}
			

		

			

			public Class SubThing1 extends Thing{
			

			public SubThing(){ initialize stuff }
			

			various stuff for this subclass
			

			}
			

		

			

			public Class SubThing2 extends Thing{
			

			public SubThing(){ initilize stuff }
			

			various stuff for this subclass
			

			}
