[Lang] Omitting a field in ToStringBuilder

[Gary Gregory]

Hello Commons-Lang,

I need to exclude a given field with
ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(Object). 
The Object I pass in is a javax.jms.Message which is a JMS abstract
interface which can be implemented with all sorts of fields. I know I just
do not want "messageText". 

My current implementation is nasty and does not feel right since I have to
use a ToStringStyle:

        private Object getMessageDescription(Message message) {
                class TempToStringStyle extends ToStringStyle {
                        public void append(StringBuffer buffer, String
fieldName, Object value, Boolean fullDetail) {
                                if ("messageText".equals(fieldName) ==
false) {
                    super.append(buffer, fieldName, value, fullDetail);
                                }
                        }
                }
                return ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(message, new
TempToStringStyle(), false);
        }


I could imagine doing something like:

ToStringBuilder builder = new ToStringBuilder(message);
builder.remove(messageText);
return builder.toString();

Any thoughts?
