reflection

I have a jar file which contains only testcase.class files. I need to parse that and find all the classes defined in that jar file and need to generate one report. I tried to do it with the reflection concept in Java. Some how, when loading a class is fine, but trying to get the declared methods of it, I am getting the following error. (Note class is loaded, I am able to get the name and canonical name of the loaded class but I error at trying to get declared methods).

What I have tried:

<pre lang="Java">for (String clazz: classes) {  
            String className = clazz.replaceAll("/",  
 ".").replaceAll(".class","");  
            try {  
                URL url = file.toURI().toURL();  
                URL[] urls = new URL[]{url};  
                URLClassLoader cl = new URLClassLoader(urls);  
                Class cls = cl.loadClass(className);  
                System.out.println("##############################");  
                cls.getDeclaredMethods();
                //clazzes.add(getClassObject(cls));  
                //break;  
            } catch (MalformedURLException e) {  
                e.printStackTrace();  
            } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {  
                e.printStackTrace();  
            }  
        }
