creating a grails domain class from its class name

I am trying to use the Class.forName('com.mypack.MyDomain').newInstance() to create an instance of the grails domain from its qualified name. But Its throwing a ClassNotFoundException. I assume this is because the .forName('') expects the class to be a java class instead of a groovy class? How to make this work in grails, or is there another method to create the domain object from the class name in String format.

Thanks Priyank

Another route to try would be to do:

GrailsDomainClass dc = grailsApplication.getDomainClass( 'com.mypack.MyDomain' )
def newDomainObject = dc.clazz.newInstance()

Try 

GrailsClass clazz =  grailsApplication.getArtefactByLogicalPropertyName(DomainClassArtefactHandler.TYPE, className)
clazz.clazz.newInstance()
