Dynamic variable names Java

Question

How will I be able to retrieve the value of a variable which has a dynamic name

For Example I have list of constants

public class Constant{
    public static final String S_R = "Standard(240)";
    public static final String S_W = "Standard(180)";
    public static final String L_R = "Large(360)";
    public static final String L_W = "Large(280)";
}

Based on database I build a variable name

String varName = "S" + "_"  +"R"; // This can be S_R , S_W , L_R or L_W
String varVal = // How do i get value of S_R

Answer 1

Use a normal HashMap with variable names as strings against their values. Or use a EnumMap with enums as key and your value as values. AFAIK, that's the closest you can get when using Java. Sure, you can mess around with reflection but IMO the map approach is much more logical.
