GWT native function - reference per string

Question

I would like to make references in native javascript based on names in strings in gwt:

private String reference = "testFunction";

private native void initTool() /*-{
  $wnd.reference = function(){ 
    //function action
  }
}-*/;

The idea then is that i from javascript should be able to run the method like this:

window.testFunction();

I hope this is possible some how? I havent found anything online explaining this, maybe because i dont know what to search for.

regards

No you cannot .

What you can do is pass the String to JavaScript and decide the function name there based upon conditions.
