how to call class method using String

[Winanjaya]

Hello All,

I store class name and its method into strings.

ie.
String classname = "MyClass1";
String methodname = MyMethod1";

googling and found java.lang.reflect for doing this..

import java.lang.reflect.*;
String classname = "MyClass1";
String methodname = MyMethod1";
Class cp1 = Class.forName(classname);

but how to call its method?

any help is appreciated..

thanks & regards

Well, it depends are you calling a static method or an instance method?

just want to share ;->)

String fcn = "mypackage." + classname;
Class c1 = Class.forName(fcn);
Method meth1 = c1.getMethod("run");
Object theObject1 = c1.newInstance();
meth1.invoke(theObject1);
