  com.raritantechnologies.searchApp.resultComparators.CompositeResultComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Comparator, IConfigurable, IResultComparator

public class CompositeResultComparator

extends java.lang.Object

implements IResultComparator

Enables a tiered comparison: returns the value of the first nested IResultComparator that detects a difference between two IResult objects.

XML Configuration Template:

   <ResultComparator class="com.raritantechnologies.searchApp.resultComparators.CompositeResultComparator" >
     <!-- Two or more nested ResultComparators: -->
     <ResultComparator class="[ class of com.raritantechnologies.searchApp.IResultComparator ]" >

     </ResultComparator>

     <ResultComparator class="[ class of com.raritantechnologies.searchApp.IResultComparator ]" >

     </ResultComparator>

     <!-- etc . . . -->

   </ResultComparator>

Specified by:

compare in interface IResultComparator

initialize

public void initialize(org.w3c.dom.Element elem)

Description copied from interface: IConfigurable

Initializes the object from an XML tag or element. This method is called by the Framework as part of the application initializtion. see ConfigurationManager, XMLConfigurationManager, XMLSearchFieldMapFactory, XMLSearchSourceFactory. Configurable objects that are owned or contained by other configurable objects will be initialized in by the parent object.

Specified by:

initialize in interface IResultComparator

public void setContext(java.util.Map parameterMap)

Specified by:

setContext in interface IResultComparator
