Append the toString from another object.

This method is useful where a class delegates most of the implementation of its properties to another class. You can then call toString() on the other class and pass the result into this method.

private AnotherObject delegate;
private String fieldInThisClass;

public String toString() {
return new ToStringBuilder(this).
appendToString(delegate.toString()).
append(fieldInThisClass).
toString();
}

This method assumes that the other object uses the same ToStringStyle as this one.

            style.appendEnd(this.getStringBuffer(), this.getObject());
        }
        return this.getStringBuffer().toString();
}

This method appends the end of data indicator, and can only be called once. Use #getStringBuffer to get the current string state.

If the object is null, return the style's nullText
