Generic toString method for Java Beans

I wrote a little utility class to print out all the fields from a Java bean:

import java.lang.reflect.Method;

public class Stringifier {
	public static String toString(Object bean)
	{
		StringBuffer buffer=new StringBuffer();
		Class objClass=bean.getClass();
		Method[] methods=objClass.getMethods();
		buffer.append(bean.getClass().getName()+"[");
		for (Method method : methods)
		{
			if (method.getName().startsWith("get") &&
				method.getParameterTypes().length==0)
			{
				String name=method.getName();
				buffer.append(name);
				buffer.append("=");
				try
				{
					buffer.append(method.invoke(bean));
				}
				catch(Exception exp)
				{
					exp.printStackTrace();
				}
				buffer.append(" ");
			}
		}
		buffer.append("]");
		return buffer.toString();
	}
}

From your bean's toString() method you can then call "Stringifier.toString(this)" and get a String representation. It is not perfect and obviously may require changes to fit your specific needs, but it's a useful starting point.
