Java反射：对象不是声明类的实例

Question

User class

public class User {
        @Id
        @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
        private Long id;
        @Column(unique=true)
        private String username;
        @JsonIgnore
        private String password;
        private String firstName;
        private String lastName;
        private Date dob;
        private String motherName;
        private String fatherName;
        private String mobileNumber;
        @Column(unique=true)
        private String email;
        @ManyToOne
        @JoinColumn(name="role_id", nullable=false)
        private Role role;
        private String status;
    
        public void setPassword(String password) {
            this.password = PasswordEncoder.getEncodedPassword(password);
        }
    }

Here is my UserRequest class

@Data
public class UserRequest {
    private Long id;
    private String username;
    private String password;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private Date dob;
    private String motherName;
    private String fatherName;
    private String mobileNumber;
    private String email;
    private Long role;
    private String status;
}

and my copy method is present in Utility class

public static void copy(Object dest, Object source) throws IntrospectionException, IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException,
        InvocationTargetException {
    BeanInfo beanInfo = Introspector.getBeanInfo(source.getClass());
    PropertyDescriptor[] pdList = beanInfo.getPropertyDescriptors();
    for (PropertyDescriptor pd : pdList) {
        Method writeMethod = null;
        Method readMethod = null;
        try {
            writeMethod = pd.getWriteMethod();
            readMethod = pd.getReadMethod();
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }

        if (readMethod == null || writeMethod == null) {
            continue;
        }

        Object val = readMethod.invoke(source);
        writeMethod.invoke(dest, val);
    }
}

and I'm calling this copy method something like this

 Utility.copy(user,userRequest);

and getting the following exception when writeMethod.invoke(dest, val) is executed. can anyone please help?

Answer 1

You're only getting the BeanInfo for the source class, and then getting the property descriptors from that BeanInfo ... so writeMethod is a setter on the source class, but you're calling it on an instance of the destination class.

You probably need to get the BeanInfo for the source and destination classes separately, then for each property in the source, find the one with the same name (if any) in the destination class, and use that property's write method to set the value.
