Java toString - ToStringBuilder not sufficient; won't traverse

Question

I need to be able to traverse through my entire object graph and log all contents of all member fields.

For example: Object A has a collection of Object B\'s which

Answer 1

Extended above code for List and Map:

Code :

public class MultipleRecursiveToStringStyle extends ToStringStyle {
private static final int    INFINITE_DEPTH  = -1;

private int                 maxDepth;

private int                 depth;

public MultipleRecursiveToStringStyle() {
    this(INFINITE_DEPTH);
}

public MultipleRecursiveToStringStyle(int maxDepth) {
    setUseShortClassName(true);
    setUseIdentityHashCode(false);

    this.maxDepth = maxDepth;
}

@Override
protected void appendDetail(StringBuffer buffer, String fieldName, Object value) {
    if (value.getClass().getName().startsWith("java.lang.")
            || (maxDepth != INFINITE_DEPTH && depth >= maxDepth)) {
        buffer.append(value);
    } else {
        depth++;
        buffer.append(ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(value, this));
        depth--;
    }
}

@Override
protected void appendDetail(StringBuffer buffer, String fieldName, Collection coll) {
    Collections.sort((List) coll);
    for(Object value: coll){
        if (value.getClass().getName().startsWith("java.lang.")
                || (maxDepth != INFINITE_DEPTH && depth >= maxDepth)) {
            buffer.append(value);
        } else {
            depth++;
            buffer.append(ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(value, this));
            depth--;
        }
    }
}

@Override
protected void appendDetail(StringBuffer buffer, String fieldName, Map map) {
    TreeMap sortedMap = new TreeMap(map);
    for(Map.Entry kvEntry: sortedMap.entrySet()){
        Object value = kvEntry.getKey();
        if (value.getClass().getName().startsWith("java.lang.")
                || (maxDepth != INFINITE_DEPTH && depth >= maxDepth)) {
            buffer.append(value);
        } else {
            depth++;
            buffer.append(ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(value, this));
            depth--;
        }
        value = kvEntry.getValue();
        if (value.getClass().getName().startsWith("java.lang.")
                || (maxDepth != INFINITE_DEPTH && depth >= maxDepth)) {
            buffer.append(value);
        } else {
            depth++;
            buffer.append(ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(value, this));
            depth--;
        }
    }
}}
