I have a class
like below
public class SampleReflection {
public static final String TWO_name = "html";
public static final String TWO_find = "css";
public static final String ONE_KEY_java = "java";
public static final String ONE_KEY_jsp = "jsp";
public static final String ONE_KEY_oracle = "oracle";
public static final String ONE_KEY_spring = "spring";
public static final String ONE_KEY_struts = "struts";
}
I would like to get all the fields which starts with ONE_KEY
and their value.
because the ONE_KEY_xxx
can be of any numbers.
how to do this in java reflection or any other way in java ?
thanks
You can use SampleReflection.class.getDeclaredFields()
, iterate over the result and filter by name. Then call field.get(null)
to get the value of the static fields. If you want to access non-public fields as well you might have to call first.setAccessible(true)
(provided the security manager allows that).
Alternatively you could have a look at Apache Common's reflection utilities, e.g. FieldUtils
and the like.
Depending on what you actually want to achieve there might be better approaches though, e.g. using a map, enums etc.
In your case where you have static fields using an enum might be a better way to go.
Example:
enum SampleFields {
TWO_name("html"),
TWO_find("css"),
ONE_KEY_java("java"),
ONE_KEY_jsp("jsp");
ONE_KEY_oracle("oracle"),
...;
private String value;
private SampleFields(String v) {
value = v;
}
}
Then iterate over SampleFields.values()
and filter by name.
Alternatively, if that fits your needs, you could split the names and pass a map to the enum values, e.g.
enum SampleFields {
TWO(/*build a map "name"->"html","find"->"css")*/ ),
ONE_KEY(/*build a map "java"->"java","jsp"->"jsp", ...*/);
private Map<String, String> values;
private SampleFields(Map<String, String> map) {
values = map;
}
}
Then get the enum values like this: SampleFields.valueOf("ONE_KEY").get("java")
Thanks for the answer,
this is what i was looking for,
import java.lang.reflect.Field;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class SampleReflection {
public static final String TWO_name = "html";
public static final String TWO_find = "css";
public static final String ONE_KEY_java = "java";
public static final String ONE_KEY_jsp = "jsp";
public static final String ONE_KEY_oracle = "oracle";
public static final String ONE_KEY_spring = "spring";
public static final String ONE_KEY_struts = "struts";
public static void main(String[] args) {
Class<?> thisClass = null;
Map<String,String> keyValueMap = new HashMap<String,String>();
try {
thisClass = Class.forName(SampleReflection.class.getName());
Field[] aClassFields = thisClass.getDeclaredFields();
for(Field f : aClassFields){
String fName = f.getName();
if(fName.contains("ONE_KEY")){
keyValueMap.put(fName, (String)f.get(SampleReflection.class));
}
}
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : keyValueMap.entrySet())
{
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "=" + entry.getValue());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
