Java method to assign object field values with Reflection

Question

I was wondering whether it would be possible to have something like the following in Java:

public class MyClass {
    private String name;
    private Intege         


        

Answer 1

I'd like to suggest a map instead of List.

 for(Map.Entry entry:map.entrySet())
  {
    Field aField = anObject.getClass().getDeclaredField(entry.getKey());
    if(entry.getValue().getClass().equals(aField.getType()))
         aField.set(anObject,entry.getValue());
  }
return anObject;
