How to copy un-specified properties from bean to bean 

Jodd is an open-source java library with lot of reusable components and feature rich utilities. This requires the library jodd-3.3.2.jar to be in classpath. The following example shows how to copy un-specified properties from one Java bean to another using BeanTool.copyProperties() API.

package com.bethecoder.tutorials.jodd.common;

public class Student implements java.io.Serializable {

  private static final long serialVersionUID = -5962595557796049374L;
  private String name;
  private int age;
  private String hobby;

  public Student() {
  }

  public Student(String name, int age, String hobby) {
    super();
    this.name = name;
    this.age = age;
    this.hobby = hobby;
  }

  public String getName() {
    return name;
  }
  public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
  }
  public int getAge() {
    return age;
  }
  public void setAge(int age) {
    this.age = age;
  }
  public String getHobby() {
    return hobby;
  }
  public void setHobby(String hobby) {
    this.hobby = hobby;
  }
  
  public String toString() {
    return "Student[name = " + name + ", age = " + age + ", hobby = " + hobby + "]";
  }
}

package com.bethecoder.tutorials.jodd.beans;

import jodd.bean.BeanTool;

import com.bethecoder.tutorials.jodd.common.Student;

public class CopyPropertiesTest2 {

  /**
   @param args
   */
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    Student std = new Student("Sriram"2"Chess");
    Student std2 = new Student();
    
    boolean include = false;
    String [] properties = "hobby" };
    
    BeanTool.copyProperties(std, std2, properties, include);
    System.out.println(std2);
  }

}
   

It gives the following output,
Student[name = Sriram, age = 2, hobby = null]
