How to call a method from a given string in Java

I am trying to reduce my code from using a bunch of if statements from getting a specified command and calling a method for it.

Instead, I want to try something that would take that command and call a method name with it

Something like this:

"get" + commandString + "Count"()

Instead of:

if (command == "something") {
   callSomeMethod();
}

if (command == "somethingelse") {
   callSomeOtherMethod();
}

...

Is there a way to call a method from a specified string? Or a better way to approach this problem.

>Solution :

This is the use-case for a switch case statement.

switch(command){
    case "command1": command1(); break;
    case "command2": command2(); break;

Using a string javascript style is fortunately impossible in Java. The comments links to answers how to use reflection to accomplish something similar. This is rarely a good solution.
