How to Iterate and Replace Inner List Property in an Object with Another Object Property in Java

In the world of software development, particularly when working with Java and its frameworks like Spring, managing object properties effectively is crucial. Today, we're addressing a common scenario: how to iterate over a list of addresses in an object and replace one of their properties based on another object’s property.

Problem Overview

You might find yourself needing to update specific attributes within complex object structures. For instance, consider the provided example where we have two Person objects - one representing the origin and the other the destination.

Object Structure

In this case, both Person objects contain a list of Address objects. Each Address has attributes including addressId, city, and state.

Origin Person:

Name: Jon

Address:

ID: 1, City: Malibu, State: CA

Destination Person:

Name: Jon

Address:

ID: 1, City: Malibu, State: MI

The requirement is to replace the state in the destination's address with the state from the origin's address, based on matching addressId values. In this example, this means changing "MI" to "CA".

Solution Breakdown

To achieve this, you can implement a method called stateReplacer. This method will iterate through the addresses in the origin object, and for each address, it will check for a match in the destination object.

Implementation Steps

Check Address Count: First, check if the origin has only one address to simplify the process.

Mapping States: If there are multiple addresses, create a map to store addressId and corresponding states from the origin.

Updating States: Iterate through the destination addresses and replace the state based on the mapping created.

Code Example

Here’s how this can be implemented in Java:

Conclusion

The stateReplacer method provides a straightforward way to synchronize the state property between origin and destination addresses. By using conditionals and maps, it efficiently handles both scenarios - single and multiple addresses.

This approach ensures that your applications maintain consistency in data while managing object properties effectively. Next time you encounter a similar situation, use this method as a template, and tailor it to meet your specific needs.

By applying these techniques, you can streamline complex data management tasks and focus on creating robust applications. Happy coding!
