Fill primitive properties with random data automatically? [closed]

Answer 1

I Have used reflection and recursion here to get all fields populated in my robust object that i wanted to get tested. This is Using PODAM as well i hope somebody will find this useful.

public class Populate {

    private final PodamFactory podamFactory = new PodamFactoryImpl();

    private 
 P getManufacturedPojo(final Class
 klass) {
        return podamFactory.manufacturePojo(klass);
    }

    private Object populateAllIn(final Class targetClass) throws IllegalAccessException, InstantiationException {
        final Object target = targetClass.newInstance();

        //Get all fields present on the target class
        final Set allFields = getAllFields(targetClass, Predicates.alwaysTrue());

        //Iterate through fields
        for (final Field field : allFields) {

            //Set fields to be accessible even when private
            field.setAccessible(true);

            final Class fieldType = field.getType();
            if (fieldType.isEnum() && EnrichmentType.class.isAssignableFrom(fieldType)) {
                 //handle any enums here if you have any
            }              

            //Check if the field is a collection
            if (Collection.class.isAssignableFrom(fieldType)) {

                //Get the generic type class of the collection
                final Class genericClass = getGenericClass(field);

                //Check if the generic type of a list is abstract
                if (Modifier.isAbstract(genericClass.getModifiers())) {

                    //You might want to use any class that extends
                    //Your abstract class like 

                    final List
