    copied!<p>Avoid reflection whenever possible. It often does more harm than good.</p> <p>Put them into a map:</p> <pre><code>public class Urls { //put your arrays here private static final Map&lt;String,String[]&gt; urlsLists = new HashMap&lt;&gt;(); static { urlLists.put("ASTUN", ASTUN); urlLists.put("CANDANCHU", CANDANCHU); } public static String[] getUrlList(String name) { return urlLists.get(name); } } </code></pre> <p>And then call it like this:</p> <pre><code>private Object getObject(String objectName){ return Urls.getUrlList(objectName); } </code></pre> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>You loose a lot of nice stuff Java help you with, including type-safety, encapsulation and compile-time checks. Because of this it is a lot more error prone. There is a much increased risk of run-time errors and you need a bunch of extra code to handle this. Your brief example already have two catch clauses. Trust me - that will just get worse.</p> <p>You can even improve type-safety more by creating an Enum to define url-types. Then you will get compile time checks that you have spelled the name right and even auto-completion all through-out your code. :)</p> <pre><code>public class Urls { public enum UrlTypes {ASTUN; CANDANCHU;} // .. private static final Map&lt;UrlTypes,String[]&gt; urlsLists = new HashMap&lt;&gt;(); static { urlLists.put(UrlTypes.ASTUN, ASTUN); urlLists.put(UrlTypes.CANDANCHU, CANDANCHU); } .. public static String[] getUrlList(UrlTypes name) { return urlLists.get(name); } } </code></pre> <p>Every error you can catch at compile-time instead of at run-time can save you between half an hour or half a week of work, when things get complex.</p>
