Don't you mean: "exclude slot xyz", not method?
You can do this:
/**
* This method does NOT include the password in the returned String.
*
* @see java.lang.Object#toString()
*/
public String toString() {
return (new ReflectionToStringBuilder(this) {
protected boolean accept(Field f) {
return super.accept(f) &&
!f.getName().equals("password");
}
}).toString();
}
