还有一种更简单的方法来模拟使用instanceof的开关结构，你可以通过在方法中创建一个代码块并用标签命名它来实现。然后使用if结构来模拟case语句。如果情况为真，则使用断点LABEL_NAME来退出临时的开关结构。

        DEFINE_TYPE:
        {
            if (a instanceof x){
                //do something
                break DEFINE_TYPE;
            }
            if (a instanceof y){
               //do something
                break DEFINE_TYPE;
            }
            if (a instanceof z){
                // do something
                break DEFINE_TYPE;
            }
        }

这个怎么样?

switch (this.name) 
{
  case "A":
    doA();
    break;
  case "B":
    doB();
    break;
  case "C":
    doC();
    break;
  default:
    console.log('Undefined instance');
}

While it is not possible to write a switch statement, it is possible to branch out to specific processing for each given type. One way of doing this is to use standard double dispatch mechanism. An example where we want to "switch" based on type is Jersey Exception mapper where we need to map multitude of exceptions to error responses. While for this specific case there is probably a better way (i.e. using a polymorphic method that translates each exception to an error response), using double dispatch mechanism is still useful and practical.

interface Processable {
    <R> R process(final Processor<R> processor);
}

interface Processor<R> {
    R process(final A a);
    R process(final B b);
    R process(final C c);
    // for each type of Processable
    ...
}

class A implements Processable {
    // other class logic here

    <R> R process(final Processor<R> processor){
        return processor.process(this);
    }
}

class B implements Processable {
    // other class logic here

    <R> R process(final Processor<R> processor){
        return processor.process(this);
    }
}

class C implements Processable {
    // other class logic here

    <R> R process(final Processor<R> processor){
        return processor.process(this);
    }
}

然后在任何需要“开关”的地方，你可以这样做:

public class LogProcessor implements Processor<String> {
    private static final Logger log = Logger.for(LogProcessor.class);

    public void logIt(final Processable base) {
        log.info("Logging for type {}", process(base));
    }

    // Processor methods, these are basically the effective "case" statements
    String process(final A a) {
        return "Stringifying A";
    }

    String process(final B b) {
        return "Stringifying B";
    }

    String process(final C c) {
        return "Stringifying C";
    }
}

Java现在允许你以op的方式切换。他们称之为模式匹配切换。它在Java 17发布。JEP中给出的例子是

String formatted;
switch (obj) {
    case Integer i: formatted = String.format("int %d", i); break;
    case Byte b:    formatted = String.format("byte %d", b); break;
    case Long l:    formatted = String.format("long %d", l); break;
    case Double d:  formatted = String.format("double %f", d); break;
    case String s:  formatted = String.format("String %s", s); break
    default:        formatted = obj.toString();
}  

或者使用他们的lambda语法并返回一个值

String formatted = 
    switch (obj) {
        case Integer i -> String.format("int %d", i)
        case Byte b    -> String.format("byte %d", b);
        case Long l    -> String.format("long %d", l); 
        case Double d  -> String.format("double %f", d); 
        case String s  -> String.format("String %s", s); 
        default        -> obj.toString();
    };

不管怎样，他们一直在用开关做很酷的东西。

如果您想避免If (){} else If{}的冗长，您可以考虑将这个文件切换到kotlin，并将类似于开关的when表达式与is操作符结合使用。

在任何情况下，Kotlin和java文件都可以共存于一个项目中，并生成一个可以在JVM中运行的jar。

when (this) { //switch-like statement in kotlin supporting class-pattern-matching and smart casts via `is` operator.
    is A -> doA()
    is B -> doB()
    is C -> doC()
}

不，这是不可能的。然而，您可能想要做的是将多态性作为处理这类问题的一种方法。
