Urgent - Alternatives for Using Reflection 2004-08-04 - By Jaise George
Back
Hi Shiva,
If you do not know what methods are there in the class, then I think
reflection is the only way. Reflection is meant for that only. As I said
in my previous mail, reflection is not a costly issue now. Methods in
java.lang.Class  uses reflection.
If you use an interface or any other implementation like that, you MUST
KNOW the method names in the class.
If decided to use an interface, you can go for a factory pattern here.
Class ABC implements InterfaceA, InterfaceB, InterfaceC
{
}
Interface InterfaceA{
public string GetA();
}
Interface InterfaceB{
public string GetB();
}
Now use a factory class to return the appropriate interface downcasted
from Class ABC. Call the method from the object.
This alleviates the discomfort you might have in using if-else
statements.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Jaise

Thanx Jaise for quick reply,
Here is the details.
I have a class.
class ABC
{
private string a;
private string b;
private string c;
public string getA(){}
public string getB(){}
public string getC(){}
...
...
}
Now in other class
someMethod(String condition)
{
instance=new ABC();
//now depending upon the condition I have to call either getA()
getB() or getC() and I don't
// know what methods are there in the class and I don't want to use
the reflection.
}
Hope it gives some idea to you.
And abt the interface solution I have given a thought to it but before
that just wanted to make sure there is no other way for doin this.

Have a nice day..!!!

Hi Shiva,
Your description is not clear enough to give a solution. If the methods
of that class is absolutely unknown, you can go for reflection.
Reflection is not that dangerous these days. I guess application servers
use that extensively.
Alternatively an option I can you is to use an interface, if the class
is developed by your own team.

Hi,
Sorry for posting it on J2EE list ...
Is there any alternative for using the Reflection.
I have a class instance with me but want to call a method depending upon
some condition and I dont want to use the if-else etc.
Thanx in advance

Logic will get you from A to B - imagination will take you anywhere.
