java switch 对象,可以在java中使用switch（java.lang.Object）吗？

My application required to have switch case statement of type String.

I need something like this:

Object list1 = "list1";

Object list2 = "list2";

Object list3 = "list3";

Object option = "list1";

switch (option) {

case list1: // Do something

case list2: // Do something

case list3: // Do something

default: // Do something

}

Is it possible to have?

EDIT:

Is it better to use switch case for n conditions rather going with if

and else? Please comment on it?

Since you are switching on Strings I assume that the strings are known at compile time. In that case you can use an enum.

public enum MyStrings{

LIST1, LIST2

}

Then

switch(MyStrings.valueOf(option)){

case LIST1: do something; break;

//etc.

}
