Description

The following is directly from the Javadoc page. Please see inline notes.

• • • Begin Quote ***
      To use this class write code as follows:

public class Person {
String name;
int age;
boolean isSmoker;

...

public String toString()

{ return new ToStringBuilder(this). append(name, "name"). //!! should be - append("name", name). append(age, "age"). //!! should be - append("age", age). append(smoker, "smoker"). //!! should be - append("smoker", smoker). toString(); }

}

• • • End Quote ***

In short, the order of arguments to the append method in the example have been
reversed.

Thank you.
