I am using an interface of a java bean. Most of the times the methods yielded by this interface are good enough for me.
But often enough I need to access the implementations of this interface.
The problem here is that I only have a String key to access a specific property of a implemented java bean.
Problem
In my runtime I have following String variable with the value successPage.
I then have an interface Content. This interface does not yield a method called
getSuccessPage() but one of its implementations Formular does.
What I would like to do
I want to use some kind of dynamic resolving of those methods. See this pseudo code:
Content content;
String foundValue = propertyResolver.getDynamicValue("successPage", content, String.class)
// this should ultimately call Formular.getSuccessPage() and return it's value
As you can see I do not have to tell the method what type the concrete implementation would have. Because I am not able to explicitly tell the runtime what type of implementation is actually used.
I already heard of reflection and used it by myself. But I also heard of Spring PropertyResolver classes. I tried to use them but was not able to understand their API and search results were not able to clear my sights.
