/**
 * 

* Assists in implementing {@link Object#toString()} methods using reflection. *

*

* This class uses reflection to determine the fields to append. Because these fields are usually private, the class * uses {@link java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject#setAccessible(java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject[], boolean)} to * change the visibility of the fields. This will fail under a security manager, unless the appropriate permissions are * set up correctly. *

*

* Using reflection to access (private) fields circumvents any synchronization protection guarding access to these * fields. If a toString method cannot safely read a field, you should exclude it from the toString method, or use * synchronization consistent with the class' lock management around the invocation of the method. Take special care to * exclude non-thread-safe collection classes, because these classes may throw ConcurrentModificationException if * modified while the toString method is executing. *

*

* A typical invocation for this method would look like: *

*
 * public String toString() {
 *     return ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(this);
 * }
 * 
*

* You can also use the builder to debug 3rd party objects: *

*
 * System.out.println("An object: " + ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(anObject));
 * 
*

* A subclass can control field output by overriding the methods: *

    *
  • {@link #accept(java.lang.reflect.Field)}
  • *
  • {@link #getValue(java.lang.reflect.Field)}
  • *
*

*

* For example, this method does not include the password field in the returned String: *

*
 * public String toString() {
 *     return (new ReflectionToStringBuilder(this) {
 *         protected boolean accept(Field f) {
 *             return super.accept(f) && !f.getName().equals("password");
 *         }
 *     }).toString();
 * }
 * 
*

* The exact format of the toString is determined by the {@link ToStringStyle} passed into the constructor. *

* * @since 2.0 * @version $Id: ReflectionToStringBuilder.java 1448370 2013-02-20 19:54:19Z tn $ */ public class ReflectionToStringBuilder extends ToStringBuilder { /** *
