In Java, it is not possible to load static references dynamically from each module

directly. However, you can achieve a similar effect by using reflection.

Reflection allows you to inspect and manipulate classes, methods, and fields at
runtime. Here's an example of how you can load and access static references
dynamically using reflection:

1. Load the desired module dynamically:


javaCopy code
Module module = ModuleLayer.boot().findModule( "module.name" ).orElseThrow(); ClassLoader
classLoader = module .getClassLoader();
2. Load the class dynamically:
javaCopy code
Class<?> clazz = Class.forName( "com.example.MyClass" , true , classLoader);
3. Access the static field dynamically:
javaCopy code
Field field = clazz.getDeclaredField( "myStaticField" ); field.setAccessible( true ); // In case the field is private
Object value = field.get( null ); // null as the instance for static fields
4. Perform operations with the static reference:
javaCopy code
if (value instanceof MyStaticType) { MyStaticType staticValue = (MyStaticType) value; // Use the
staticValue as needed }

Please note that the actual implementation might vary depending on your specific
use case and the modules you are working with. Also, keep in mind that accessing
static references dynamically through reflection can lead to less readable and
maintainable code, so use it judiciously.
