                                                    java.lang.Object[] args)

Stringify a staggered name-value list. Staggered NV-lists have the following form: Object nvlist[] = { "name1", val1, "name2", val2, ... }. The stringified representation looks like name1=val,name2=val2,... where the values are obtained from the Object.toString() method.

Parameters:

objects - staggered NV-list

Returns:

stringified representation

toString

public static java.lang.String toString(java.lang.Object thiz,
                                        java.lang.Object[] objects)

A default toString implementation.

Parameters:

thiz - object for which to generate the string representation

objects - a staggered name-value array.

Returns:

a concatenation of the object name and the name-value list
