How to make Class.forName return array type? [duplicate]

Question

Is it possible that Class.forName can return an array type? Now when I use Class.forName("byte[]") it throws NoClassFound exception.

Or generally, how to get Type[].class from Type.class?

Answer 1

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(byte[].class.getName());
    try {
        Class clazz = Class.forName("[B");
        System.out.println(byte[].class==clazz);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

byte[].class's name is "[B";

byte[].class==clazz is true

[Ljava.lang.String; for String[]

[Lpacket.to.YourClass; for YourClass[]
