Calling method from a component by its name in a string

Question

I just want to know if there is any way to call a method from on an object by its name in a String.

Something like this

setLocation(int,int) it's a method from jLabel1, how can i call this
method(setLocation()) by using its name in string ?

String component = jLabel1.getName();
component.setLocation(x,y);

You would need to use Reflection. But what is the requirement, where you need to do something like this? — Rohit Jain, Feb 07 '13 at 19:51
