Convert string to class

Rails
1

hey,

i have these parameters
/backend/fsdocuments/new?parent_class=Product&parent_id=5

parent_id = params[:parent_id] => “5”
parent_class = params[:parent_class] => “Product”

So i need to find Product item with id = 5

Product.find(5)

But how can i convert this string to a object??

Thx
