Class MultilineRecursiveToStringStyle

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
    public class MultilineRecursiveToStringStyle
extends RecursiveToStringStyle
    Works with ToStringBuilder to create a "deep" toString. But instead a single line like the RecursiveToStringStyle this creates a multiline String similar to the ToStringStyle.MULTI_LINE_STYLE.

    To use this class write code as follows:

     public class Job {
   String title;
   ...
 }

 public class Person {
   String name;
   int age;
   boolean smoker;
   Job job;

   ...

   public String toString() {
     return new ReflectionToStringBuilder(this, new MultilineRecursiveToStringStyle()).toString();
   }
 }

    This will produce a toString of the format:
    Person@7f54[
      name=Stephen,
      age=29,
      smoker=false,
      job=Job@43cd2[
        title=Manager
      ]
    ]
