Say I have a very simple java object that only has some getXXX and setXXX properties. This object is used only to handle values, basically a record or a type-safe (and performant) map. I often need to covert this object to key value pairs (either strings or type safe) or convert from key value pairs to this object.
Other than reflection or manually writing code to do this conversion, what is the best way to achieve this?
An example might be sending this object over jms, without using the ObjectMessage type (or converting an incoming message to the right kind of object).
There is always apache commons beanutils but of course it uses reflection under the hood
