比较两个不相关对象的字段

标签: java reflection comparison compare field

我有两个不同类的对象,它们共享一些具有相同名称和类型的字段。这两个对象彼此无关。我不可能创建一个接口或父类。

现在我想比较这些共享字段,据我所知,这应该可以使用反射。

这些是我为这种比较方法编写的步骤:

Field[] inputFields = input.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
for (Field field : inputFields ) {
    log.info(field.getName() + " : " + field.getType());
}

将会有一个名为database的对象与inputFields进行比较。

不幸的是我不知道如何获得我的字段的价值。你有什么提示吗?


好的,field.get(input)我现在有了价值,但也许我错了,这不是我需要的。 实际上,我想将此字段与另一个字段进行比较,因此我需要在此字段上调用equals方法。但起初我必须把它投到适当的班级。 那么((field.getClass()) field).equals(...)会有用吗?

我认为您正在寻找Field.get()

for (Field field : inputFields ) {
    log.info(field.getName() + " : " 
             + field.getType() + " = " 
             + field.get(input);
}

以下是此问题的解决方案,一个名为FieldHelper的实用程序类,它有一个方法

Map<String, Object[]> properties =
    FieldHelper.getCommonProperties(Object a, Object b)

返回的地图将字段名称作为键,将两个字段值的数组作为值:

public final class FieldHelper{

    private FieldHelper(){}

    private static final Map<Class<?>, Map<String, PropertyDescriptor>> cache =
        new HashMap<Class<?>, Map<String, PropertyDescriptor>>();

    /**
     * Return a Map of field names to {@link PropertyDescriptor} objects for a
     * given bean.
     */
    public static Map<String, PropertyDescriptor> getBeanProperties(final Object o){

        try{
            final Class<?> clazz = o.getClass();
            Map<String, PropertyDescriptor> descriptors;
            if(cache.containsKey(clazz)){
                descriptors = cache.get(clazz);
            } else{
                final BeanInfo beanInfo =
                    Introspector.getBeanInfo(clazz, Object.class);
                descriptors = new TreeMap<String, PropertyDescriptor>();
                for(final PropertyDescriptor pd : beanInfo.getPropertyDescriptors()){
                    descriptors.put(pd.getName(), pd);
                }
                cache.put(clazz,
                    new TreeMap<String, PropertyDescriptor>(descriptors));
            }
            final Map<String, PropertyDescriptor> beanProperties = descriptors;
            return beanProperties;

        } catch(final IntrospectionException e){
            throw new IllegalStateException("Can't get bean metadata", e);
        }
    }

    /**
     * Return a Map of all field names and their respective values that two
     * objects have in common. Warning: the field values can be of different
     * types.
     */
    public static Map<String, Object[]> getCommonProperties(final Object a,
        final Object b){
        final Map<String, PropertyDescriptor> aProps = getBeanProperties(a);
        final Map<String, PropertyDescriptor> bProps = getBeanProperties(b);
        final Set<String> aKeys = aProps.keySet();
        final Set<String> bKeys = bProps.keySet();
        aKeys.retainAll(bKeys);
        bKeys.retainAll(aKeys);
        final Map<String, Object[]> map = new TreeMap<String, Object[]>();

        for(final String propertyName : aKeys){
            final Object aVal = getPropertyValue(a, aProps.get(propertyName));
            final Object bVal = getPropertyValue(b, bProps.get(propertyName));
            map.put(propertyName, new Object[] { aVal, bVal });
        }
        return map;
    }

    /**
     * Return the value of a bean property, given the bean and the {@link PropertyDescriptor}.
     */
    private static Object getPropertyValue(final Object a,
        final PropertyDescriptor propertyDescriptor){
        try{
            return propertyDescriptor.getReadMethod().invoke(a);
        } catch(final IllegalArgumentException e){
            throw new IllegalStateException("Bad method arguments", e);
        } catch(final IllegalAccessException e){
            throw new IllegalStateException("Can't access method", e);
        } catch(final InvocationTargetException e){
            throw new IllegalStateException("Invocation error", e);
        }
    }

测试代码:

public static void main(final String[] args){
    class Foo{
        private String abc = "abc";
        private String defy = "defy";
        private String ghi = "ghi";
        private String jkl = "jkl";
        // stripped getters and setters
        // they must be there for this to work
    }
    class Bar{
        private Boolean abc = true;
        private Integer def = 3;
        private String ghix = "ghix3";
        private Date jkl = new Date();
        // stripped getters and setters
        // they must be there for this to work
    }
    final Map<String, Object[]> properties =
        getCommonProperties(new Foo(), new Bar());
    for(final Entry<String, Object[]> entry : properties.entrySet()){
        System.out.println("Field: " + entry.getKey() + ", value a: "
            + entry.getValue()[0] + ", value b: " + entry.getValue()[1]);
    }
}

<强>输出:

  

字段:abc,值a:abc,值b:true
  字段:jkl,值a:jkl,值b:Tue Oct 12 14:03:31 CEST 2010

注意:此代码实际上并不读取字段,它遵循java bean约定并使用getter代替。将它重写为使用字段会很容易,但我会反对它。
