Dumping a java object's properties
Is there a library that will recursively dump/print an objects properties? I'm looking for something similar to the console.dir() function in Firebug.
I'm aware of the commons-lang ReflectionToStringBuilder but it does not recurse into an object. Ie, if I run the following:
public class ToString {
public static void main(String [] args) {
System.out.println(ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(new Outer(), ToStringStyle.MULTI_LINE_STYLE));
}
private static class Outer {
private int intValue = 5;
private Inner innerValue = new Inner();
}
private static class Inner {
private String stringValue = "foo";
}
}
I receive:
ToString$Outer@1b67f74[ intValue=5
innerValue=ToString$Inner@530daa ]
I realize that in my example, I could have overriden the toString() method for Inner but in the real world, I'm dealing with external objects that I can't modify.
You could try XStream.
XStream xstream = new XStream(new Sun14ReflectionProvider(
new FieldDictionary(new ImmutableFieldKeySorter())),
new DomDriver("utf-8"));
System.out.println(xstream.toXML(new Outer()));
prints out:
<foo.ToString_-Outer>
<intValue>5</intValue>
<innerValue>
<stringValue>foo</stringValue>
</innerValue>
</foo.ToString_-Outer>
You could also output in JSON
And be careful of circular references ;)
I tried using XStream as originally suggested, but it turns out the object graph I wanted to dump included a reference back to the XStream marshaller itself, which it didn't take too kindly to (why it must throw an exception rather than ignoring it or logging a nice warning, I'm not sure.)
I then tried out the code from user519500 above but found I needed a few tweaks. Here's a class you can roll into a project that offers the following extra features:
[<classname>][:<fieldname>] You can call this using one of the two methods below:
String dump = Dumper.dump(myObject);
String dump = Dumper.dump(myObject, maxDepth, maxArrayElements, ignoreList);
As mentioned above, you need to be careful of stack-overflows with this, so use the max recursion depth facility to minimise the risk.
Hopefully somebody will find this useful!

You can use ReflectionToStringBuilder with a custom ToStringStyle, for example:
class MyStyle extends ToStringStyle {
private final static ToStringStyle instance = new MyStyle();
public MyStyle() {
setArrayContentDetail(true);
setUseShortClassName(true);
setUseClassName(false);
setUseIdentityHashCode(false);
setFieldSeparator(", " + SystemUtils.LINE_SEPARATOR + " ");
}
public static ToStringStyle getInstance() {
return instance;
};
@Override
public void appendDetail(StringBuffer buffer, String fieldName, Object value) {
if (!value.getClass().getName().startsWith("java")) {
buffer.append(ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(value, instance));
} else {
super.appendDetail(buffer, fieldName, value);
}
}
@Override
public void appendDetail(StringBuffer buffer, String fieldName, Collection value) {
appendDetail(buffer, fieldName, value.toArray());
}
}
And then you invoke it like:
ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(value, MyStyle.getInstance());
Beware of circular references though!
You can also use json-lib (http://json-lib.sourceforge.net) and just do:
JSONObject.fromObject(value);
