Java Reflection
<p>I need to find whether a class have implemented a specific interface(suppose java.io.Serializable)</p>

<p>following is my code</p>

<pre><code>class Employee{},class Test implements java.io.Serializable{},class Point{},
class Main{}, class MyApp{},class TestApp implements java.io.Serializable{};

class MyMain
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{

String[] classes={"Employee","Test","Point","Main","MyApp"}; // array of class names in default package
Class interFace = Class.forName("java.io.Serializable");

for(int i=0 ;i &lt; classes.length;i++) {

 Class clas = Class.forName(classes[i]);

 boolean match = !clas.isInterface() &amp;&amp; !clas.isEnum() &amp;&amp; interFace.isAssignableFrom(clas) ;

 if(match )
 {

 System.out.println(classes[i]+ "implements java.io.Serializable");

 }}}}
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Output</strong></p>

<p>Employee implements java.io.Serializable ///  wrong</p>

<p>Test implements java.io.Serializable ///  correct</p>

<p>Main implements java.io.Serializable ///  wrong</p>

<p>TestApp implements java.io.Serializable ///  correct</p>

<p><strong>Problem</strong></p>

<p>Problem is only with Employee and Main class when they are in default package.</p>

<h2>I donot understand why this happen?</h2>
