Assigning methods at runtime?

Hi All,

Hi all. I am a begining java programmer. This is an extension on a previous message I posted under a different header. See the subject

"User supplied methods in classes" for specifically what I am trying to accomplish.


Basically I want to if there is a way to implement a specific method at runtime. In other words, I want to have essentailly an abstract method, but implement the abstract method at runtime without having to derive a new class from it. Is this possible and what is the best way to accomplish this.

You cannot implement a method at runtime. Interfaces have been used quite liberally

for the kind of stuff you want. You might want to check out the chapter on interfaces
