You can do something like this. You can make this code more generic so that you can use it for looping on fields:
Class aClass = f.getClass();
Class[] paramTypes = new Class[1];
paramTypes[0] = String.class; // get the actual param type
String methodName = "set" + fieldName; // fieldName String
Method m = null;
try {
m = aClass.getMethod(methodName, paramTypes);
} catch (NoSuchMethodException nsme) {
nsme.printStackTrace();
}
try {
String result = (String) m.invoke(f, fieldValue); // field value
System.out.println(result);
} catch (IllegalAccessException iae) {
iae.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException ite) {
ite.printStackTrace();
}

Apache Commons BeanUtils does it.
Have you tried getting all the methods of the invoked class and filtering out only the getter methods by name and invoking them?
Method[] methods = cls.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
for (Method m: methods) {
if(m.getName().startsWith("get")) {
m.invoke(clsInstance);
}
}
This solves our half problem, as getters are invoked without any arguments. But if you need to invoke a setter method you need to specify arguments. Ex, To invoke a setter which accepts string argument method as below:
m.invoke(clsInstance, "some string argument");
One solution to could be make all the setters accept an object type value and typecast them while assigning it to actual class variables.
Now your pojo classes will look as below:
public class AccountPojo {
private String dataList;
private String dataSet;
public String getDataList() {
return dataList;
}
public void setDataList(Object dataList) {
this.dataList = (String) dataList;
}
public String getDataSet() {
return dataSet;
}
public void setDataSet(Object dataSet) {
this.dataSet = (String)dataSet;
}
}
public class GetAccountsPojo {
private String accountId;
private int noOfAccounts;
public String getAccountId() {
return accountId;
}
public void setAccountId(Object accountId) {
this.accountId = (String) accountId;
}
public int getNoOfAccounts() {
return noOfAccounts;
}
public void setNoOfAccounts(Object noOfAccounts) {
this.noOfAccounts = (int) noOfAccounts;
}
}
Add below code to your main method:
for (Method m: methods) {
if(m.getName().startsWith("get")) {
m.invoke(clsInstance);
}
if(m.getName().startsWith("set")) {
m.invoke(clsInstance, "any argument to be passed here");
}
}
Don't use raw class. If you know which class is called already, use typed class.
try {
AccountPojo obj = AccountPojo.class.newInstance();
Method setDataList = AccountPojo.class.getMethod("setDataList");
setDataList.setAccessible(true); // This is important if you want to access protected or private method. For public method you can skip
setDataList.invoke(obj, "123");
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InstantiationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Java doesn't have a built-in means to add completely new methods. You could try an embedded scripting engine (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/script/package-summary.html), then using Javascript, jRuby, Groovy, etc.. Those languages will allow more runtime functionality along the lines of what you need and should be able to interact with your java code.
You could create a wrapper for it:
public class MyWrapper extends TheClass {
private TheClass theClass;
//getter/setters
}
Let's say we have a typescript class:
class Test {
private _value = 0;
public set value(val: number) {
this._value = val;
}
public get value() {
return this._value;
}
}Is there a way to create one dynamic getter/setter value1, value2, value3, .... valueN without defining each of them separately?
