Java functions

[victorq]

Hello.

If a function doesn't exist in my java project, can I redirect and run another generic function?
The project I'm trying to implement will try to execute a lot of functions whose names will be known only at run time.
So I would like to implement a generic function that will be executed when java will try to execute a inexistent function.

Thank you.

I would suggest that this could be handled differently. What are you trying to do, specifically?

[victorq]

I would be happy to to this any another way.

I need to connect to different databases types and analyze the tables and the relations between these tables. I tried Hibernate for this project.

So if I have a table called customers with a column "name", then I must have the function "getName" in the class "customer.java". This is how Hibernate works
But I must do this at run time and at run time I don't have the class customer.java created.

I already asked on Hibernate forum if I can do something in Hibernate to fix this but I don't have an answer yet.
And here I asked if java can help about this problem at a upper level.
Hope this is not interpreted as a double post...

Thank you.

And what run time event triggers which database you connect to?

[victorq]

I choose the database so this is not a problem.

I guess I should catch the exception that is thrown on the missing function and execute my generic function.
But it doesn't sound right.
