Looping through class members and update member value in groovy












1















I have a question regarding loop through class members and update member value of the object in groovy:



class Test {    
String a
String b

Test(String a, String b) {
this.a = a
this.b = b
}

String toString() {
return "a is " + a + " b is " + b
}

}


And I want to loop through the object member and update the value of the member:



class Testing {
static void main(String args) {
Test test = new Test("hello", "world")
test.properties.findAll {
it.value.toString.equals('hello')
}.each {
it.setValue("new value")
}
}
}


I try to change the value of "hello" to "new value", looks like it can find the member contains the "hello", but the value the same after it.setvalue(), how to change the value of the member in the object in correct way?

          Changing properties does not affect field value change. If you want to find a field that stores specific value, like hello, and change it to something else, then you can try doing it with setProperty method invoked on test object.



          Consider the following example:



          class Testing {
          static void main(String args) {
          Test test = new Test("hello", "world")

          test.properties.findAll {
          it.value == 'hello'
          }.each { field, _ ->
          test.setProperty(field as String, "new value")
          }

          println test
          }
          }


          Output:



          a is new value b is world

            Not a fan of using invokeMethod for this. Why not just use test.setProperty( it.key, 'new value' )?
