GetterMethodsReflectionToStringBuilder (code attached, proposal for integration)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LANG-503
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-503
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: Michael Vorburger
Fix For: 3.0
The ReflectionToStringBuilder "reflects" on fields... I needed one that works
based on public getters().
This is useful for example with some kind of value objects where the internal
private field structure is not really what you would want to see in a
toString(), but which have a series of getters which were exactly what was
frequently required to be dumped. There is probably other uses too (e.g. works
even with a SecurityManager - that's not what I wrote it for, but could be an
advantage over the ReflectionToStringBuilder?).
I have hacked this and will attach a
GetterMethodsReflectionToStringBuilder.java (which extends
ReflectionToStringBuilder; works fine, for my use) with a
GetterMethodsReflectionToStringBuilderTest (which may need some coverage
extension, but is certainly a valid basic unit test) with its SomeTestBean.
I'll attach for your consideration to integrate this.
