Why do you want to call a method with name passed in a String parameter? Cannot you create a constants for different actions, then use switch and in each case call the method with parameter i?

Method m = YourClass.class.getMethod("method_name",new Class[] { Integer.class }) 

I guess Integer.class might work. Then invoke the metod as

m.invoke(null,123); //first argument is the object to invoke on, ignored if static method
