CompoundComparator (Spring Framework API 2.0) - Spring Framework 2.0.5 API 文档英文版

The Spring Framework

org.springframework.util.comparator
Class CompoundComparator

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.springframework.util.comparator.CompoundComparator
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparator

public class CompoundComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator, Serializable

A comparator that chains a sequence of one or more more Comparators.

A compound comparator calls each Comparator in sequence until a single Comparator returns a non-zero result, or the comparators are exhausted and zero is returned.

This facilitates in-memory sorting similar to multi-column sorting in SQL. The order of any single Comparator in the list can also be reversed.

Constructor Detail

CompoundComparator

public CompoundComparator()
Construct a CompoundComparator with initially no Comparators. Clients must add at least one Comparator before calling the compare method or an IllegalStateException is thrown.


CompoundComparator

public CompoundComparator(Comparator[] comparators)
Construct a CompoundComparator from the Comparators in the provided array.

All Comparators will default to ascending sort order, unless they are InvertibleComparators.

Parameters:
comparators - the comparators to build into a compound comparator
See Also:
InvertibleComparator
Method Detail

addComparator

public void addComparator(Comparator comparator)
Add a Comparator to the end of the chain.

The Comparator will default to ascending sort order, unless it is a InvertibleComparator.

Parameters:
comparator - the Comparator to add to the end of the chain
See Also:
InvertibleComparator

addComparator

public void addComparator(Comparator comparator,
                          boolean ascending)
Add a Comparator to the end of the chain using the provided sort order.

Parameters:
comparator - the Comparator to add to the end of the chain
ascending - the sort order: ascending (true) or descending (false)

setComparator

public void setComparator(int index,
                          Comparator comparator)
Replace the Comparator at the given index.

The Comparator will default to ascending sort order, unless it is a InvertibleComparator.

Parameters:
index - the index of the Comparator to replace
comparator - the Comparator to place at the given index
See Also:
InvertibleComparator

setComparator

public void setComparator(int index,
                          Comparator comparator,
                          boolean ascending)
Replace the Comparator at the given index using the given sort order.

Parameters:
index - the index of the Comparator to replace
comparator - the Comparator to place at the given index
ascending - the sort order: ascending (true) or descending (false)

invertOrder

public void invertOrder()
Invert the sort order of each sort definition contained by this compound comparator.


invertOrder

public void invertOrder(int index)
Invert the sort order of the sort definition at the specified index.

Parameters:
index - the index of the comparator to invert

setAscendingOrder

public void setAscendingOrder(int index)
Change the sort order at the given index to ascending.

Parameters:
index - the index of the comparator to change

setDescendingOrder

public void setDescendingOrder(int index)
Change the sort order at the given index to descending sort.

Parameters:
index - the index of the comparator to change

getComparatorCount

public int getComparatorCount()
Returns the number of aggregated comparators.


compare

public int compare(Object o1,
                   Object o2)
Specified by:
compare in interface Comparator

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Specified by:
equals in interface Comparator
Overrides:
equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Overrides:
hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()
Overrides:
toString in class Object
