Constructor Detail

EntryComparator

public EntryComparator()

Default constructor (for ExternalizableLite and PortableObject).

EntryComparator

public EntryComparator(Comparator comparator)

Construct an EntryComparator to compare entries' values using the provided Comparator object. The EntryComparator will choose the comparison style based on the specified comparator type: if the comparator is an instance of the KeyExtractor, the CMP_KEY style will be assumed; otherwise, the CMP_VALUE style is used.

Parameters:

comparator - the comparator to use; if not specified the "natural" comparison of entries' values is used

EntryComparator

public EntryComparator(Comparator comparator,
                       int nStyle)

Construct an EntryComparator to compare entries using the provided Comparator object according to the specified comparison style. If the style is CMP_AUTO then the comparator type is checked: if the comparator is an instance of the KeyExtractor, the CMP_KEY style will be assumed; otherwise, the CMP_VALUE style is used.

Parameters:

comparator - the comparator to use; if not specified the "natural" comparison is used

nStyle - the comparison style to use; valid values are any of the CMP_* constants

Method Detail

compare

public int compare(Object o1,
                   Object o2)

Compares two arguments for order. The arguments must be Map.Entry objects. Depending on the comparison style, this method will pass either the entries' values, keys or the entries themselves to the underlying Comparator.

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator

Overrides:

compare in class SafeComparator

Parameters:

o1 - the first object to be compared

o2 - the second object to be compared

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Determine if two EntryComparator objects are equal.

Specified by:

equals in interface Comparator

Overrides:

equals in class SafeComparator

Parameters:

o - the other object

Returns:

true if the passed object is equal to this

getComparisonStyle

public int getComparisonStyle()

Obtain the comparison style value utilized by this EntryComparator. The returned value should be one of the CMP_* constants.

Returns:

the comparison style value

isCompareValue

public boolean isCompareValue()

Check whether or not this EntryComparator uses entries' values to pass for comparison to the underlying Comparator.

Returns:

true iff entries' values are used for comparison

isCompareKey

public boolean isCompareKey()

Check whether or not this EntryComparator uses entries' keys to pass for comparison to the underlying Comparator.

Returns:

true iff entries' keys are used for comparison

isCompareEntry

public boolean isCompareEntry()

Check whether or not this EntryComparator pass entries themselves for comparison to the underlying compareEntries() method.

Returns:

true iff entries themselves are used for comparison
