package org.apache.commons.lang3.builder; import static org.apache.commons.lang3.reflect.FieldUtils.readField; import java.lang.reflect.Field; import java.lang.reflect.Modifier; import org.apache.commons.lang3.ClassUtils; import org.apache.commons.lang3.reflect.FieldUtils;

Assists in implementing Diffable.diff(Object) methods.

All non-static, non-transient fields (including inherited fields) of the objects to diff are discovered using reflection and compared for differences.

To use this class, write code as follows:

public class Person implements Diffable<Person> {
  String name;
  int age;
  boolean smoker;
  ...
  public DiffResult diff(Person obj) {
    // No need for null check, as NullPointerException correct if obj is null
    return new ReflectionDiffBuilder(this, obj, ToStringStyle.SHORT_PREFIX_STYLE)
      .build();
  }
}

The ToStringStyle passed to the constructor is embedded in the returned DiffResult and influences the style of the DiffResult.toString() method. This style choice can be overridden by calling DiffResult.toString(ToStringStyle).

public class ReflectionDiffBuilder implements Builder<DiffResult> { private final Object left; private final Object right; private final DiffBuilder diffBuilder;

Constructs a builder for the specified objects with the specified style.

If lhs == rhs or lhs.equals(rhs) then the builder will not evaluate any calls to append(...) and will return an empty DiffResult when build() is executed.

Params:
  • lhs – this object
  • rhs – the object to diff against
  • style – the style will use when outputting the objects, null uses the default
Type parameters:
  • <T> – type of the objects to diff
Throws:
/** * <p> * Constructs a builder for the specified objects with the specified style. * </p> * * <p> * If {@code lhs == rhs} or {@code lhs.equals(rhs)} then the builder will * not evaluate any calls to {@code append(...)} and will return an empty * {@link DiffResult} when {@link #build()} is executed. * </p> * @param <T> * type of the objects to diff * @param lhs * {@code this} object * @param rhs * the object to diff against * @param style * the style will use when outputting the objects, {@code null} * uses the default * @throws IllegalArgumentException * if {@code lhs} or {@code rhs} is {@code null} */
