Hi!

I have two different methods from different class:



How can I call the appropriate method of the respective classes?



Is there a better way than the if/else statement?

Thanks

You can very well call via an if-else construct. But if you want an effective way of calling, you could use a Factory Pattern.

You can read about it here -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_method_pattern#Java
