Comments on: Fluent Interface and Reflection for Object Building in Java http://stephan.reposita.org/archives/2007/10/10/fluent-interface-and-reflection-for-object-building-in-java/ Productivity in software development Fri, 25 Jul 2008 03:48:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Andrea Francia http://stephan.reposita.org/archives/2007/10/10/fluent-interface-and-reflection-for-object-building-in-java/#comment-84565 Andrea Francia Sun, 04 May 2008 18:00:04 +0000 http://stephan.reposita.org/archives/2007/10/10/fluent-interface-and-reflection-for-object-building-in-java/#comment-84565 Your idea is a great idea. I wrote created an opensource library for creating Builders with fluent interface based on your idea in this post. I think I put the propert credits to you, if there are any problem let me know. I have also extended the builder to manage object lists. For example if Person has a property named 'lovedThings' of type List with the library I wrote you can write: Person person = Person.builder() .withFirstName("John") .withLovedThings("pizza", "soccer", "jogging") .build(); The library can be found at http://www.andreafrancia.it/articoli/fluent-builder Your idea is a great idea.

The following code # public static PersonFluentInterface with(Person person) { # return FluentInterface.create( # person, PersonFluentInterface.class); # } might be a good addition. Because sometimes the instance is already available, but you still want to populate it fluently. Nice idea. The following code

# public static PersonFluentInterface with(Person person) {
# return FluentInterface.create(
# person, PersonFluentInterface.class);
# }

might be a good addition. Because sometimes the instance is already available, but you still want to populate it fluently.

Thanks Prashant Stephan,

I know the Builder pattern back from the GOF book and recently Groovy/Grails. Therefor I used the word "building" and not creating in the title. But I thought about how to implement this pattern with minimal implementation overhead, so I created the reflection solution. Perhaps the presentation will help me get rid of the suppress warning annotation. Thanks, nice presentation, it looks interesting.
