Avoiding case-sensitivity during reflection calls

Question

Hi All,
I am reflecting methods from an object using java.lang.reflect.* classes and trying to invoke methods on the object. The problem is, I am aware of the filed names in the class that is reflected. The setter method name is not known exactly. They appear something like set<filed name>. Is there a way to avoid case sensitivity while trying to look up for methods from the class.
Any early help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

You may also find java.beans.Statement and Expression useful:
public class CrappyBean {
    private int value;
    public void makeValue(int value) {
        this.value = value;
    public int findValue() {
        return value;
import java.beans.Statement;
import java.beans.Expression;
public class StatementUse {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        CrappyBean object = new CrappyBean();
        Statement setter = new Statement(object, "makeValue", new Object[]{17});
        Expression getter = new Expression(object, "findValue", null);
        setter.execute();
        System.out.println(getter.getValue());
}
