Question

public AbstractImagePrototype getIcon(ModelData model) {
    if (model.get("icon") != null) {
        return Resources.ICONS.lock();
    } else {
        return null;
    }
}   

in this line of code:

return Resources.ICONS.lock();

I need to change lock() for a String, e.g.

String text = "lock()";
return Resources.ICONS.text;

How do I do this?

Answer 1

you can do

Resources.ICONS.getClass().getMethod("lock").invoke(Resources.ICONS);

at leas if ICONS is an object. If it is a class it could be

Resources.ICONS.class.getMethod("lock").invoke(null);

(untested).

I hope you know what you are doing, because that could have a number of effects you don’t want.
