Using Java reflection to create eval() method

Question

I have a question about reflection I am trying to have some kind of eval() method. So i can call for example:

eval(\"test(\'woohoo\')\");

Answer 1

You can loop over all methods of a class using:

cls.getMethods(); // gets all public methods (from the whole class hierarchy)

or

cls.getDeclaredMethods(); // get all methods declared by this class

.

for (Method method : cls.getMethods()) {
    // make your checks and calls here
}
