Message:

another case where runtime info is ok?

Posted by Tony Locke on 12 Feb 1999, 7:36 AM

I've used code such as:

this.getClass().getMethod(methodName, null).invoke(this, null);

in a servlet where 'methodName' is a CGI parameter. I agree that
runtime info should be avoided if possible, but I think that in
this case it is justified. What does anyone else think?
