Hi people. 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')");

Now I understand the there is no eval method in java but there is reflection. I made the following code:

String s = "test";
Class cl = Class.forName("Main");
Method method = cl.getMethod(s, String.class);
method.invoke(null, "woohoo");

This works perfectly (of course there is a try, catch block around this code). It runs the test method. However I want to call multiple methods who all have different parameters.

I don't know what parameters these are (so not only String.class). But how is this possible? how can I get the parameter types of a method ? I know of the following method:

Class[] parameterTypes = method.getParameterTypes();

But that will return the parameterTypes of the method I just selected! with the following statement:

Method method = cl.getMethod(s, String.class);

Any help would be appreciated !
