Is it possible to use a variable to replace "Component" in the pageWithName(Component.class.getName()); syntax?

There's a few options, yes.
a) the one Lon mentioned -- but beware that it will be slow. Class.for is a bottleneck if used a lot. But you can overcome this by keeping a Map<String,Class>.


b) If they're always in the same package, you can bypass the lookup.
String fullName = Main.class.getPackage().getName() + ".Main" + userGroupCodeString;
return pageWithName(fullName);


c) create a component that dynamically uses a differing template. Instantiate this component with and utilise WOSwitchComponent in it's html/wod
java:
protected String componentNameSuffix() {
return session().currentUser().group().code();
}


	protected String componentBaseName() {
		return "Main";
	}

	public String componentName() {
		return componentBaseName() + "." + componentNameSuffix();
	}

Now either do:
	html:
	<wo:WOSwitchComponent WOComponentName = "$componentName"/>

or the following (which won't require a separate Java file per component... not recommended unless really useful :-)
java:
protected String _templateName()
{
return componentName();
}



For example how would I change the code below to the syntax above?

String usergroupcodestring = session.currentUser.group().code();
String pageName = "Main"+usergroupcodestring;
return pageWithName(pageName);

The following doesn't work.

String usergroupcodestring = session.currentUser.group().code();
String pageName = "Main"+usergroupcodestring;
return pageWithName(pageName.class.getName());

Thanks,
