package org.apache.commons.lang.builder;

import org.apache.commons.lang.BooleanUtils;
import org.apache.commons.lang.ObjectUtils;

Assists in implementing Object.toString() methods.
This class enables a good and consistent toString() to be built for any
class or object. This class aims to simplify the process by:

 
allowing field names
 
handling all types consistently
 
handling nulls consistently
 
outputting arrays and multi-dimensional arrays
 
enabling the detail level to be controlled for Objects and Collections
 
handling class hierarchies

To use this class write code as follows:
public class Person {
  String name;
  int age;
  boolean smoker;
  ...
  public String toString() {
    return new ToStringBuilder(this).
      append("name", name).
      append("age", age).
      append("smoker", smoker).
      toString();
  }
}

This will produce a toString of the format:
Person@7f54[name=Stephen,age=29,smoker=false]
To add the superclass toString, use appendSuper. To append the toString from an object that is delegated to (or any other object), use appendToString.
Alternatively, there is a method that uses reflection to determine
the fields to test. Because these fields are usually private, the method, 
reflectionToString, uses AccessibleObject.setAccessible to
change the visibility of the fields. This will fail under a security manager,
unless the appropriate permissions are set up correctly. It is also
slower than testing explicitly.
A typical invocation for this method would look like:
public String toString() {
  return ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(this);
}

You can also use the builder to debug 3rd party objects:
System.out.println("An object: " + ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(anObject));

The exact format of the toString is determined by the ToStringStyle passed into the constructor.

Changing this default should generally only be done during application startup.

Internally, a volatile variable is used to provide the guarantee that the latest value set using setDefaultStyle is the value returned. It is strongly recommended that the default style is only changed during application startup.
One reason for changing the default could be to have a verbose style during
