ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString( Object ) is not recursive; it uses reflection on the supplied Object only. Primitives values are printed as-is, while Object values are determined by calling Object.toString(). So, org.apache.catalina.connector.RequestFacade class does not implement toString() so reflection is used to determine it has a single member variable named "request" (which appears in your output). That member variable is an Object, so toString() is called to determine it's value; unfortunately, org.apache.catalina.connector.Request does not implement toString() either. Meaning, I think the output you are seeing is correct. -- Jamie Bisotti
