BeanUtils提供对Java反射和自省API的包装。其主要目的是利用反射机制对JavaBean的属性进行处理。我们知道,一个JavaBean通常包含了大量的属性,很多情况下,对JavaBean的处理导致大量get/set代码堆积,增加了代码长度和阅读代码的难度。
下面通过代码来理解BeanUtils
首先创建两个类
Person.java
- package com.org;
- import java.util.Date;
- public class Person {
- private String name;
- private String sex;
- private int age;
- private Date birthday;
- public String getName() {
- return name;
- }
- public void setName(String name) {
- this.name = name;
- }
- public String getSex() {
- return sex;
- }
- public void setSex(String sex) {
- this.sex = sex;
- }
- public int getAge() {
- return age;
- }
- public void setAge(int age) {
- this.age = age;
- }
- public Date getBirthday() {
- return birthday;
- }
- public void setBirthday(Date birthday) {
- this.birthday = birthday;
- }
- }
Student.java
- package com.org;
- import java.util.Date;
- public class Student {
- private String name;
- private int age;
- private String address;
- private Date birthday;
- public String getName() {
- return name;
- }
- public void setName(String name) {
- this.name = name;
- }
- public int getAge() {
- return age;
- }
- public void setAge(int age) {
- this.age = age;
- }
- public String getAddress() {
- return address;
- }
- public void setAddress(String address) {
- this.address = address;
- }
- public Date getBirthday() {
- return birthday;
- }
- public void setBirthday(Date birthday) {
- this.birthday = birthday;
- }
- }
测试类 BeanUtilTest.java
- package com.org;
- import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
- import java.util.Date;
- //import com.sun.org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils;
- import org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils;
- public class BeanUtilTest {
- public static void main(String[] args) {
- Person per = new Person();
- Student stu = new Student();
- per.setName("zhangsan");
- per.setSex("男");
- per.setAge(20);
- per.setBirthday(new Date());
- stu.setName("wuangwu");
- stu.setAddress("北京市");
- try {
- BeanUtils.copyProperties(stu, per);
- } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
- // TODO Auto-generated catch block
- e.printStackTrace();
- } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
- // TODO Auto-generated catch block
- e.printStackTrace();
- }
- System.out.println(stu.getName());
- System.out.println(stu.getAge());
- System.out.println(stu.getAddress());
- System.out.println(stu.getBirthday());
- }
- }
程序输出结果为:
- zhangsan
- 20
- 北京市
- Fri Nov 25 13:03:29 CST 2011
可见Student自己设置的值都被Person给覆盖了
再做下面两个测试
把Person中的setName和setAge 改为setname setage程序输出结果为
- zhangsan
- 20
- 北京市
- Fri Nov 25 13:08:34 CST 2011
结果没有改变
而如果改为setNAme, setAGe结果为:
- wuangwu
- 0
- 北京市
- Fri Nov 25 13:10:25 CST 2011
我们发现结果改变了 内容没有被覆盖
注: 当我们加载BeanUtils类时 可能会报如下错误
- Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
- at com.org.BeanUtilTest.main(BeanUtilTest.java:101)
- Caused by: com.sun.org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: com.sun.org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: java.lang.NullPointerException (Caused by java.lang.NullPointerException) (Caused by com.sun.org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: java.lang.NullPointerException (Caused by java.lang.NullPointerException))

产生错误的原因是引入的包不对,应引入 import org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils;
而不应是import com.sun.org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils;
另外所需jar包为:
commons-beanutils-1.8.3.jar
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
还有一个很邪门的问题 实在令我不解
就是如果把Person,Student 测试类写在一起的话 会产生问题
类似与这样的结构
- class Person{
- .....
- }
- class Student{
- .....
- }
- public class BeanUtilTest {
- public static void main(String[] args) {
- ......
- }
- }
出现不了我们所需要的结果,郁闷中....
