BeanUtils.copyProperties()用法

前言：
今天看别人写的代码，在action里面看到有人用了BeanUtils.copyProperties(obj, objForm);

感觉很奇怪于是就点击进去看了一下源码
public static void copyProperties(Object source, Object target) throws BeansException {
        copyProperties(source, target, (Class)null, (String[])null);
    }

private static void copyProperties(Object source, Object target, Class<?> editable, String... ignoreProperties) throws BeansException {
        Assert.notNull(source, "Source must not be null");
        Assert.notNull(target, "Target must not be null");
        Class<?> actualEditable = target.getClass();
        if(editable != null) {
            if(!editable.isInstance(target)) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("Target class [" + target.getClass().getName() + "] not assignable to Editable class [" + editable.getName() + "]");
            }

            actualEditable = editable;
        }

        PropertyDescriptor[] targetPds = getPropertyDescriptors(actualEditable);
        List<String> ignoreList = ignoreProperties != null?Arrays.asList(ignoreProperties):null;
        PropertyDescriptor[] var7 = targetPds;
        int var8 = targetPds.length;

        for(int var9 = 0; var9 < var8; ++var9) {
            PropertyDescriptor targetPd = var7[var9];
            Method writeMethod = targetPd.getWriteMethod();
            if(writeMethod != null && (ignoreProperties == null || !ignoreList.contains(targetPd.getName()))) {
                PropertyDescriptor sourcePd = getPropertyDescriptor(source.getClass(), targetPd.getName());
                if(sourcePd != null) {
                    Method readMethod = sourcePd.getReadMethod();
                    if(readMethod != null && ClassUtils.isAssignable(writeMethod.getParameterTypes()[0], readMethod.getReturnType())) {
                        try {
                            if(!Modifier.isPublic(readMethod.getDeclaringClass().getModifiers())) {
                                readMethod.setAccessible(true);
                            }

                            Object value = readMethod.invoke(source, new Object[0]);
                            if(!Modifier.isPublic(writeMethod.getDeclaringClass().getModifiers())) {
                                writeMethod.setAccessible(true);
                            }

                            writeMethod.invoke(target, new Object[]{value});
                        } catch (Throwable var15) {
                            throw new FatalBeanException("Could not copy property '" + targetPd.getName() + "' from source to target", var15);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

    }

大概功能就是利用反射机制对JavaBean的属性进行处理。这样做的好处就是当一个JavaBean中包含了大量的属性时，可以省略对JavaBean的大量get/set操作，使代码阅读更方便，当你要处理的属性发生改变时不用改动底层代码，因为BeanUtils给你自动注入，进行解耦。
注意：如果obj与ob jForm间存在名称不相同的属性，则BeanUtils不对这些属性进行处理，需要手动处理。
