My task
Force two classes to have the same (or similar) structure
Description
I have an entity and DTO. How do I force that if someone adds / removes / changes a field in entity, a test will fail, so DTO structure matches the entity structure.
Using so called diff tool
Let's imagine a diff tool which has input parameters - two objects and output parameter - Map, where Diff is a structure oldValue, newValue. This tool returns difference between input arguments.
public Map<String, Diff> diff(final Object first, final Object second) {
// This is implemented.
return innerDiff(first, second, otherParameters); //
}
public class Diff {
private String oldValue;
private String newValue;
// getters, setters, constructor.
}
// To achieve this, we used Guava Plain map. It works well!
How do I achieve the same for classes. I want to diff two classes and have their fields as difference.
public Map<String, FieldDiff> diff(Class<?> type1, Class<?> type2) {
// How?
}
One idea is to use reflection and iterate though all fields of the class.
