我很欣赏上面的答案，但我可以使用下面的方法实现相同的行为;这个想法借鉴自Javascript的回调。我对修正持开放态度，尽管到目前为止(在生产中)还不错。

其思想是在签名中使用函数的返回类型，这意味着yield必须是静态的。

下面是一个运行带有超时的进程的函数。

public static void timeoutFunction(String fnReturnVal) {

    Object p = null; // whatever object you need here

    String threadSleeptime = null;

    Config config;

    try {
        config = ConfigReader.getConfigProperties();
        threadSleeptime = config.getThreadSleepTime();

    } catch (Exception e) {
        log.error(e);
        log.error("");
        log.error("Defaulting thread sleep time to 105000 miliseconds.");
        log.error("");
        threadSleeptime = "100000";
    }

    ExecutorService executor = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
    Callable<Object> task = new Callable<Object>() {
        public Object call() {
            // Do job here using --- fnReturnVal --- and return appropriate value
            return null;
        }
    };
    Future<Object> future = executor.submit(task);

    try {
        p = future.get(Integer.parseInt(threadSleeptime), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        log.error(e + ". The function timed out after [" + threadSleeptime
                + "] miliseconds before a response was received.");
    } finally {
        // if task has started then don't stop it
        future.cancel(false);
    }
}

private static String returnString() {
    return "hello";
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    timeoutFunction(returnString());
}

下面是一个基本的例子:

public class TestMethodPassing
{
    private static void println()
    {
        System.out.println("Do println");
    }

    private static void print()
    {
        System.out.print("Do print");
    }

    private static void performTask(BasicFunctionalInterface functionalInterface)
    {
        functionalInterface.performTask();
    }

    @FunctionalInterface
    interface BasicFunctionalInterface
    {
        void performTask();
    }

    public static void main(String[] arguments)
    {
        performTask(TestMethodPassing::println);
        performTask(TestMethodPassing::print);
    }
}

输出:

Do println
Do print

带有反射的解的例子，通过的方法必须是公共的

import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;

public class Program {
    int i;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Program   obj = new Program();    //some object

        try {
            Method method = obj.getClass().getMethod("target");
            repeatMethod( 5, obj, method );
        } 
        catch ( NoSuchMethodException | IllegalAccessException | InvocationTargetException e) {
            System.out.println( e ); 
        }
    }

    static void repeatMethod (int times, Object object, Method method)
        throws IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException {

        for (int i=0; i<times; i++)
            method.invoke(object);
    }
    public void target() {                 //public is necessary
        System.out.println("target(): "+ ++i);
    }
}

编辑:在Java 8中，lambda表达式是一个很好的解决方案，正如其他答案所指出的那样。下面的答案是为Java 7和更早的版本编写的…

看一下命令模式。

// NOTE: code not tested, but I believe this is valid java...
public class CommandExample 
{
    public interface Command 
    {
        public void execute(Object data);
    }

    public class PrintCommand implements Command 
    {
        public void execute(Object data) 
        {
            System.out.println(data.toString());
        }    
    }

    public static void callCommand(Command command, Object data) 
    {
        command.execute(data);
    }

    public static void main(String... args) 
    {
        callCommand(new PrintCommand(), "hello world");
    }
}

编辑:正如Pete Kirkham所指出的，还有另一种使用访问者的方法。访问者方法稍微复杂一些——您的节点都需要使用acceptVisitor()方法来感知访问者——但如果您需要遍历一个更复杂的对象图，那么它就值得研究。

如果你不需要这些方法来返回一些东西，你可以让它们返回Runnable对象。

private Runnable methodName (final int arg) {
    return (new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
          // do stuff with arg
        }
    });
}

然后这样使用它:

private void otherMethodName (Runnable arg){
    arg.run();
}

在Java 8中，您现在可以使用Lambda表达式和方法引用更容易地传递方法。首先介绍一些背景知识:函数式接口是具有且仅有一个抽象方法的接口，尽管它可以包含任意数量的默认方法(Java 8新增)和静态方法。lambda表达式可以快速实现抽象方法，如果不使用lambda表达式，则无需使用所有不必要的语法。

没有lambda表达式:

obj.aMethod(new AFunctionalInterface() {
    @Override
    public boolean anotherMethod(int i)
    {
        return i == 982
    }
});

使用lambda表达式:

obj.aMethod(i -> i == 982);

以下是Java Lambda表达式教程的节选:

Syntax of Lambda Expressions A lambda expression consists of the following: A comma-separated list of formal parameters enclosed in parentheses. The CheckPerson.test method contains one parameter, p, which represents an instance of the Person class.Note: You can omit the data type of the parameters in a lambda expression. In addition, you can omit the parentheses if there is only one parameter. For example, the following lambda expression is also valid: p -> p.getGender() == Person.Sex.MALE && p.getAge() >= 18 && p.getAge() <= 25 The arrow token, -> A body, which consists of a single expression or a statement block. This example uses the following expression: p.getGender() == Person.Sex.MALE && p.getAge() >= 18 && p.getAge() <= 25 If you specify a single expression, then the Java runtime evaluates the expression and then returns its value. Alternatively, you can use a return statement: p -> { return p.getGender() == Person.Sex.MALE && p.getAge() >= 18 && p.getAge() <= 25; } A return statement is not an expression; in a lambda expression, you must enclose statements in braces ({}). However, you do not have to enclose a void method invocation in braces. For example, the following is a valid lambda expression: email -> System.out.println(email) Note that a lambda expression looks a lot like a method declaration; you can consider lambda expressions as anonymous methods—methods without a name.

下面是如何使用lambda表达式“传递一个方法”:

interface I {
    public void myMethod(Component component);
}

class A {
    public void changeColor(Component component) {
        // code here
    }

    public void changeSize(Component component) {
        // code here
    }
}

class B {
    public void setAllComponents(Component[] myComponentArray, I myMethodsInterface) {
        for(Component leaf : myComponentArray) {
            if(leaf instanceof Container) { // recursive call if Container
                Container node = (Container)leaf;
                setAllComponents(node.getComponents(), myMethodInterface);
            } // end if node
            myMethodsInterface.myMethod(leaf);
        } // end looping through components
    }
}

class C {
    A a = new A();
    B b = new B();

    public C() {
        b.setAllComponents(this.getComponents(), component -> a.changeColor(component));
        b.setAllComponents(this.getComponents(), component -> a.changeSize(component));
    }
}

类C可以通过使用类似这样的方法引用来进一步缩短:

class C {
    A a = new A();
    B b = new B();

    public C() {
        b.setAllComponents(this.getComponents(), a::changeColor);
        b.setAllComponents(this.getComponents(), a::changeSize);
    }
}
