ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString

[Brian Buckley <br...@comcast.net>]

Hello,

Is there a good way to customize ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString based on
the type of field?

For example, if a class contains a field of type java.util.Date, how can one
make ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString use a custom SimpleDateFormatter on
the field instead of Date's toString()?

[java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").format(myField) instead of
myField.toString();]

I saw some customization options in ToStringStyle but did not see an option
to customize formatting by type of field.

Any tips appreciated.  Thanks.

Brian

Sorry. I funnel 'lang' into another folder so wasn't expecting Brian to
have re-sent with a [lang] when I moderated his previous mail.

My fault,

Hen
