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, moneyRaised=\293829292.930000007152557373046875, 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; } if (Modifier.isTransient(field.getModifiers()) && !this.isAppendTransients()) { // Reject transient fields. return false; } if (Modifier.isStatic(field.getModifiers()) && !this.isAppendStatics()) { // Rject static fields. return false; } if (this.getExcludeFieldNames() != null && Arrays.binarySearch(this.getExcludeFieldNames(), field.getName()) >= 0) { // Reject fields from the getExcludeFieldNames list. 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. (参见Jakarta Commons Cookbook) */ protected void appendFieldsIn(Class clazz) { if (clazz.isArray()) { this.reflectionAppendArray(this.getObject()); return; } Field[] fields = clazz.getDeclaredFields(); AccessibleObject.setAccessible(fields, true); for (int i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) { Field field = fields[i]; String fieldName = field.getName(); if (this.accept(field)) { try { // Warning: Field.get(Object) creates wrappers objects // for primitive types. Object fieldValue = this.getValue(field); this.append(fieldName, fieldValue); } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) { //this can't happen. Would get a Security exception // instead //throw a runtime exception in case the impossible // happens. throw new InternalError("Unexpected IllegalAccessException: " + ex.getMessage()); } } } } public String[] getExcludeFieldNames() { return this.excludeFieldNames; } public Class getUpToClass() { return this.upToClass; } protected Object getValue(Field field) throws IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException { return field.get(this.getObject()); } public boolean isAppendStatics() { return this.appendStatics; } public boolean isAppendTransients() { return this.appendTransients; } public ToStringBuilder reflectionAppendArray(Object array) { this.getStyle().reflectionAppendArrayDetail(this.getStringBuffer(), null, array); return this; } public void setAppendStatics(boolean appendStatics) { this.appendStatics = appendStatics; } public void setAppendTransients(boolean appendTransients) { this.appendTransients = appendTransients; } public ReflectionToStringBuilder setExcludeFieldNames(String[] excludeFieldNamesParam) { if (excludeFieldNamesParam == null) { this.excludeFieldNames = null; } else { this.excludeFieldNames = toNoNullStringArray(excludeFieldNamesParam); Arrays.sort(this.excludeFieldNames); } return this; } //设置可以自动查找到的最上层父类。也就是说,到这个类就不在向上查找字段了 public void setUpToClass(Class clazz) { this.upToClass = 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
