How to verify if an object has certain property?

Question

I want to use either a value of expected property or a specified default. How to achieve this in groovy?

Let\'s look at the example:

def printName(ob

You can use hasProperty. Example:

if (object.hasProperty('name') && object.name) {
    println object.name
} else {
    println object
}

If you're using a variable for the property name, you can use this:

String propName = 'name'
if (object.hasProperty(propName) && object."$propName") {
    ...
}
