Utility class to get detailed information about the properties of a class

In this post, I am going to explain about an utility class that provide below functionalities with respect to a field.

 

a.   Check whether a field has getter and setter methods

b.   Check the information about field access modifiers like public, private, and protected

c.    Check whether the field is constant or not

d.   Check whether the field is readable or writeable

 

Find the below working application.

 


FieldInfoUtil.java

package com.sample.app.reflections.util;

public class FieldInfoUtil {
	
	public static String setterName(String fieldName) {
		int len = fieldName.length();
		int setterNameSize = len + 3;
		char[] b = new char[setterNameSize];
		b[0] = 's';
		b[1] = 'e';
		b[2] = 't';
		char propertyFirstChar = fieldName.charAt(0);
		propertyFirstChar = Character.toUpperCase(propertyFirstChar);
		b[3] = propertyFirstChar;
		for (int i = 1; i < len; i++) {
			b[i + 3] = fieldName.charAt(i);
		}
		return new String(b);
	}

	public static String getterName(String fieldName) {
		int len = fieldName.length();
		int getterNameSize = len + 3;
		char[] b = new char[getterNameSize];
		b[0] = 'g';
		b[1] = 'e';
		b[2] = 't';
		char propertyFirstChar = fieldName.charAt(0);
		propertyFirstChar = Character.toUpperCase(propertyFirstChar);
		b[3] = propertyFirstChar;
		for (int i = 1; i < len; i++) {
			b[i + 3] = fieldName.charAt(i);
		}
		return new String(b);
	}

	public static String getterNameForBoolean(String fieldName) {
		int len = fieldName.length();
		int getterNameSize = len + 2;
		char[] b = new char[getterNameSize];
		b[0] = 'i';
		b[1] = 's';
		char propertyFirstChar = fieldName.charAt(0);
		propertyFirstChar = Character.toUpperCase(propertyFirstChar);
		b[2] = propertyFirstChar;
		for (int i = 1; i < len; i++) {
			b[i + 2] = fieldName.charAt(i);
		}
		return new String(b);
	}
}
