Create Java method from a string?
- by drozzy
Is it possible in Java, to declare a method with a string instead of an identifier?
For example can I do something like the following:
class Car{
new Method("getFoo", {
return 1+1;
});
}
//Use it
Car car = new Car();
car.getFoo();
EDIT: I am adding a Purpose WHY I need this. In order to not hardcode method names when using Jersey and it's UriBuilder, which requires a method name:
https://jsr311.dev.java.net/nonav/releases/1.1/javax/ws/rs/core/UriBuilder.html
See path() method with signature:
public abstract UriBuilder path(java.lang.Class resource,
java.lang.String method)
throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
I hope my question is clear, if not - let me know and I can clarify it.
