Hi

a) I haven't found info about this field in JDK 1.2 help and I can't compile
such code :
    Object myObject=new Object();
    String name = myObject.class.getName();
Are you sure it works ?

b) If you know the class name you can use Class.forName(String className) :
which return a class object.
Example : if you want to get an applet class object use :
  Class cls=Class.forName("java.applet.Applet");

Hope this help.
