/**
 * 

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

* *

This class enables a good and consistent toString() to be built for any * class or object. This class aims to simplify the process by:

*
    *
  • allowing field names
  • *
  • handling all types consistently
  • *
  • handling nulls consistently
  • *
  • outputting arrays and multi-dimensional arrays
  • *
  • enabling the detail level to be controlled for Objects and Collections
  • *
  • handling class hierarchies
  • *
* *

To use this class write code as follows:

* *
 * public class Person {
 *   String name;
 *   int age;
 *   boolean smoker;
 *
 *   ...
 *
 *   public String toString() {
 *     return new ToStringBuilder(this).
 *       append("name", name).
 *       append("age", age).
 *       append("smoker", smoker).
 *       toString();
 *   }
 * }
 * 
* *

This will produce a toString of the format: * Person@7f54[name=Stephen,age=29,smoker=false]

* *

To add the superclass toString, use {@link #appendSuper}. * To append the toString from an object that is delegated * to (or any other object), use {@link #appendToString}.

* *

Alternatively, there is a method that uses reflection to determine * the fields to test. Because these fields are usually private, the method, * reflectionToString, uses AccessibleObject.setAccessible to * change the visibility of the fields. This will fail under a security manager, * unless the appropriate permissions are set up correctly. It is also * slower than testing explicitly.

* *

A typical invocation for this method would look like:

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

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

* *
 * System.out.println("An object: " + ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(anObject));
 * 
* *

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

* * @since 1.0 */ public class ToStringBuilder implements Builder { /** * The default style of output to use, not null. */ private static volatile ToStringStyle defaultStyle = ToStringStyle.DEFAULT_STYLE; //---------------------------------------------------------------------------- /** *
