Invoke method by socket

How to invoke a method on the server from client? I'm using java socket. I am able to send and receive messages, but do not know how to invoke methods. Should I use switch(case)? If text equal name of the method, run this method. What is the correct/best way?

Send some messages to the server. The server should then decide based on the message received which method to invoke. E.g. if it gets "message1", it could call method1, if it gets "message2", it could call method2. Yes, you can use a switch statement for this. The messages do not need to be strings, they could be numbers.

Use an Opcode that correspond to your methods and then Switch on it.

Easier to maintain then handling the method names directly
