org.apache.commons.lang.builder——ReflectionToStringBuilder类

先看一下常见的用法：

//本示例来自Jakarta Commons Cookbook
public class PoliticalCandidate {

    private String lastName;

    private String firstName;

    private Date dateOfBirth;

    private BigDecimal moneyRaised;

    private State homeState;


    // get/set methods 省略


    public void toString( ) {

        ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString( this );

    }

}

// Create a State

State va = new State( "VA", "Virginia");

// Create a Birth Date

Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar( );

calendar.set( Calendar.YEAR, 1743 );

calendar.set( Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.APRIL );

calendar.set( Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 13 );

Date dob = calendar.getTime( );


BigDecimal moneyRaised = new BigDecimal( 293829292.93 );        


// Create a Political Candidate

PoliticalCandidate candidate = 

    new PoliticalCandidate( "Jefferson", "Thomas", dob, moneyRaised, va );


System.out.println( candidate );

//输出结果

com.discursive.jccook.lang.builders.PoliticalCandidate@187aeca

    [lastName=Jefferson,\firstName=Thomas,

     dateOfBirth=Sat Apr 13 22:38:42 CST 1743,

     state=\com.discursive.jccook.lang.builders.State@87816d

         [abbreviation=VA,name=Virginia]]

 

这个类其实就是ToStringBuilder类的一个简单实现，真正toString的生成工作全部委托给了ToStringBuilder类去完成。下面看一下这个类的源码，简单的方法就不在说了。

public class ReflectionToStringBuilder extends ToStringBuilder {

    public static String toString(Object object) {
        return toString(object, null, false, false, null);
    }

    public static String toString(Object object, ToStringStyle style) {
        return toString(object, style, false, false, null);
    }

    public static String toString(Object object, ToStringStyle style, boolean outputTransients) {
        return toString(object, style, outputTransients, false, null);
    }

    public static String toString(Object object, ToStringStyle style, boolean outputTransients, boolean outputStatics) {
        return toString(object, style, outputTransients, outputStatics, null);
    }

   //其他的toString方法都会调用这个toString
    public static String toString(Object object, ToStringStyle style, boolean outputTransients, boolean outputStatics,
            Class reflectUpToClass) {
//创建ReflectionToStringBuilder示例并调用toString方法
        return new ReflectionToStringBuilder(object, style, null, reflectUpToClass, outputTransients, outputStatics)
                .toString();
    }

    public static String toString(Object object, ToStringStyle style, 
                                  boolean outputTransients, Class reflectUpToClass) 
    {
        return new ReflectionToStringBuilder(object, style, null, reflectUpToClass, outputTransients).toString();
    }

//这个方法的作用就是不显示excludeFieldName参数做表示的字段
    public static String toStringExclude(Object object, final String excludeFieldName) {
        return toStringExclude(object, new String[]{excludeFieldName});
    }

    public static String toStringExclude(Object object, Collection /*String*/ excludeFieldNames) {
        return toStringExclude(object, toNoNullStringArray(excludeFieldNames));
    }

//检查数组是否为空，为空的话返回一个String类型的空数组
//EMPTY_STRING_ARRAY = new String[0]
    static String[] toNoNullStringArray(Collection collection) {
        if (collection == null) {
            return ArrayUtils.EMPTY_STRING_ARRAY;
        }
        return toNoNullStringArray(collection.toArray());
    }

//去除array数组中的null元素
    static String[] toNoNullStringArray(Object[] array) {
        ArrayList list = new ArrayList(array.length);
        for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
            Object e = array[i];
            if (e != null) {
                list.add(e.toString());
            }
        }
        return (String[]) list.toArray(ArrayUtils.EMPTY_STRING_ARRAY);
    }
    
    public static String toStringExclude(Object object, String[] excludeFieldNames) {
        return new ReflectionToStringBuilder(object).setExcludeFieldNames(excludeFieldNames).toString();
    }

//默认toString方法中不显示static字段，transient字段
    private boolean appendStatics = false;

    private boolean appendTransients = false;

    private String[] excludeFieldNames;


    private Class upToClass = null;

    public ReflectionToStringBuilder(Object object) {
        super(object);
    }

    public ReflectionToStringBuilder(Object object, ToStringStyle style) {
        super(object, style);
    }

    public ReflectionToStringBuilder(Object object, ToStringStyle style, StringBuffer buffer) {
        super(object, style, buffer);
    }

//这里可以看到ReflectionToStringBuilder的构造函数只是简单的调用了父类的构造函数，并设置一些属性
    public ReflectionToStringBuilder(Object object, ToStringStyle style, StringBuffer buffer, Class reflectUpToClass,
            boolean outputTransients) {
        super(object, style, buffer);
        this.setUpToClass(reflectUpToClass);
        this.setAppendTransients(outputTransients);
    }

    public ReflectionToStringBuilder(Object object, ToStringStyle style, StringBuffer buffer, Class reflectUpToClass,
            boolean outputTransients, boolean outputStatics) {
        super(object, style, buffer);
        this.setUpToClass(reflectUpToClass);
        this.setAppendTransients(outputTransients);
        this.setAppendStatics(outputStatics);
    }

//这个方法用于判断是否显示内部类，静态字段等
    protected boolean accept(Field field) {
/*这里判断如果是内部类的话，就直接返回false，表示不显示。
INNER_CLASS_SEPARATOR_CHAR就是'$'，通过反射得到内部类的字段应该有困难，因为每个内部类都持有外部类实例的引用，所以这里只是简单的过滤掉内部类
*/
        if (field.getName().indexOf(ClassUtils.INNER_CLASS_SEPARATOR_CHAR) != -1) {
            // Reject field from inner class.
            return false;
        }

        }
        return true;
    }

/*如果clazz是数组类型，则调用reflectionAppendArray方法进行处理。
否则就取得这个clazz表示的类的所有字段，并且把访问属性设置成可访问，这个意思就是说即使字段是private类型，也可以直接取值，而不用调用get方法。
但是注意这句话：If your system is running under a restrictive SecurityManager, you may need to alter your configuration to allow Commons Lang to bypass these security restrictions.

    protected void appendFieldsIn(Class clazz) {

//真正的toString方法
    public String toString() {
        if (this.getObject() == null) {
          //这里调用父类的getStyle方法，格式化字符串的工作由ToStringStyle类来处理
            return this.getStyle().getNullText();
        }
        Class clazz = this.getObject().getClass();
        this.appendFieldsIn(clazz);
//这里可以看到会自动附加上父类的字段，可以设置upToClass属性来阻止显示父类的字段
        while (clazz.getSuperclass() != null && clazz != this.getUpToClass()) {
            clazz = clazz.getSuperclass();
            this.appendFieldsIn(clazz);
        }
        return super.toString();
    }

}

 

通过源码可以看到，真正的工作是交由父类去处理的，而格式化字符串的工作又是由ToStringStyle类进行处理的

我在本地测试不成功。
