Method

ClassclassForName(final String className)
class For Name 
return classForName(className, false);
ClassclassForName(final String clsName)
class For Name 
if ("int".equals(clsName))
    return int.class;
if ("boolean".equals(clsName))
    return boolean.class;
return Class.forName(clsName);
ClassclassForName(final String theClassName)
Returns the class for a name. 
return Class.forName(theClassName);
ClassclassForName(String className)
Class.forName() cannot instantiate Class objects for primitive data types like `int'. 
if (className.equals("byte")) {
    return byte.class;
} else if (className.equals("short")) {
    return short.class;
} else if (className.equals("int")) {
    return int.class;
} else if (className.equals("long")) {
    return long.class;

ClassclassForName(String className)
class For Name 
try {
    return Class.forName(className, false, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());
} catch (Exception ignore) {
    try {
        return Class.forName(className);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("classForName(" + className + ")  with ex:", e);
ClassclassForName(String className)
Invokes Class#forName(String) for the given type name but does not throw any Exception . 
Class<T> retval = null;
try {
    Class<?> forName = Class.forName(className);
    retval = (Class<T>) forName;
} catch (Exception e) {
return retval;
ClassclassForName(String className)
class For Name 
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
ClassLoader cl = t.getContextClassLoader();
Class<?> cls = cl.loadClass(className);
return cls;
ClassclassForName(String className)
Tries to load the class with the current context class loader, and only then with the current defining class loader. 
try {
    return Class.forName(className, true, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {

    ; 
return Class.forName(className);

Method classForName 
try {
    return Class.forName(className);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
    return null;
ClassclassForName(String className)
class For Name 
Class c = __primitiveTypes.get(className);
if (null != c)
    return c;
try {
    return (Class<T>) Class.forName(className);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
    throw new Exception(e);
