reflection: ReflectionToStringBuilder in given format [duplicate]

mardi 31 mai 2016

This question already has an answer here:

I have a POJO representing a record in DynmaoDB table:

class Request{
       String id,
       String name,
       Status statusName,
       }

where Status is

public enum Status{
  OPEN, REVIEW, APPROVED }

I want to get the String representing the fields in a fixed format, just like

Request_1 Name_1 OPEN

Request_2 empty_string APPROVED

empty_string represents an empty string which is used when the value of the field is not defined. What I am doing now is

String requestRecord = this.toString(request);

where the toString method is :

public String toString(Request request) {
        return new ReflectionToStringBuilder(request, new RecursiveToStringStyle()).toString();
      }

This gives me the output like this :

com.datamodel.Request@3bb5ceb[id=Request_1,name=,statusName=com.datatype.Status@2ffb3aec[statusName=Review,name=REVIEW,ordinal=1]]

Can anyone tell me how to get the string in the required format.?
