java 获取一个类的所有属性,如何获取一个java类中的属性数？

I have a java class containing all the columns of a database table as attributes (member variables) and corresponding getters and setters.

I want to have a method in this class called getColumnCount() that returns the number of columns (i.e. the number of attributes in the class)? How would I implement this without hardcoding the number? I am open to critisims on this in general and suggestions. Thanks.

Check the reflection API. If the class in question is actually a pure Javabean, you can get the number of fields (properties or columns as you call it) as follows:

public int getColumnCount() {

return getClass().getDeclaredFields().length;

}

I however highly question the need for this. If you elaborate a bit more about the functional requirement for which you think that you need this approach/solution, then we may be able to suggest better ways.
