Class AppendeeObject

java.lang.Object

com.healthmarketscience.common.util.AppendeeObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

Appendee

Direct Known Subclasses:

SqlObject

public class AppendeeObject
extends Object
implements Appendee

Simple subclass for objects wishing to use the AppendableExt/Appendee interface in new class hierarchies. The toString() method is overridden to call the appendTo(com.healthmarketscience.common.util.AppendableExt) method, so a subclass need only provide a new implementation for the appendTo() method. The default appendTo() implementation appends the result of calling Object.toString(). Also adds a toString(int) method for specifying the initial size of the underlying StringBuilder.
