Given an Object O, a String containing the method name AND an array of
the parameter types (Classes):

1) Get the Class of O, call it C
2) Call C.getMethod(method name, array of parameter types) to get a
Method object, call it M
3) Call M.invoke(object to call method on, array of parameters) on the
Method object  

So the key methods are:
Object.getClass()
Class.getMethod(...)
Method.invoke(...)

If you don't know the parameter types, call Class.getMethods(...) to
get a list.
