Re: enums, using methods as initializers

Hello!

I would like to be able to initialize fields of an enum with /methods/ (of
another Class).

Here is the (non-working) example:

 import java.util.*;
 import java.sql.*;

 public enum Field {
  FIELD1 (ResultSet.getString),
  FIELD2 (ResultSet.getDouble),
  ...
  FIELDN (ResultSet.getTimestamp);

  private java.lang.reflect.Method extract;
 }

the idea is to be able to get all fields from a given ResultSet by going
through the list of Fields and extracting the column from the ResultSet.

Something like:

 public void print(ResultSet rs)
 {
  for (Field f : Field.values())
   System.out.println(f + ":\t" + rs.f.extract(f));
 }

Does the above stand a chance of being turned into a real Java code?

Thanks for ideas!
