switch on String

[vitesse wei]

Hi,I have two string variables,they could have 20x5 combinations,how can i implement the code to check on specific combination,"if else" is not good design,I can not use "switch" on string,"enum" is not good too,what is the better solution for this?

Hashmap?

If the action is same for all the string matches then populate them in a static string list and use contains.

If the actions are different use a hashmap to define the actions for each type of match
