Class BeanPropertyComparator

java.lang.Object
  com.raritantechnologies.utils.comparators.BeanPropertyComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Comparator, IComparator, IConfigurable

public class BeanPropertyComparator

extends java.lang.Object

implements IComparator

Objects of this class can be used to determine if a JavaBean Property with a given value is found in some java.lang.Object.

XML Configuration Template:

   <Comparator class="com.raritantechnologies.utils.comparators.BeanPropertyComparator"
                  getMethodName="[name of bean method]"
                  getMethodValue="[value to compare bean value to]" >

     <Comparator class="[implementation of IComparator]" >
       <!-- parameters required by  comparator -->
     </Comparator>

     <!--  Can have a nested BeanPropertyComparator if the initial bean object is itself
              a JavaBean -->
     <NestedComparator getMethodName="[name of bean method]"
                  getMethodValue="[value to compare bean value to]" >
        <!-- parameters of nested BeanPropertyComparator -->
     </NestedComparator>

   </Comparator>

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)

Specified by:

equals in interface java.util.Comparator

compare

public int compare(java.lang.Object ob1,
                   java.lang.Object ob2)

Specified by:

compare in interface java.util.Comparator

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.
