org.onosproject.ui.table.cell.AbstractCellComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

CellComparator

Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultCellComparator

public abstract class AbstractCellComparator
extends java.lang.Object
implements CellComparator

Base implementation of a CellComparator. This class takes care of dealing with null inputs; subclasses should implement their comparison knowing that both inputs are guaranteed to be non-null.

compare

public int compare(java.lang.Object o1,
                   java.lang.Object o2)

Description copied from interface: CellComparator

Compares its two arguments for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.

Note that nulls are permitted, and should be sorted to the beginning of an ascending sort; i.e. null is considered to be "smaller" than non-null values.

Specified by:

compare in interface CellComparator

Parameters:

o1 - the first object to be compared

o2 - the second object to be compared

Returns:

an integer representing relative ordering

Comparator.compare(Object, Object)

nonNullCompare

protected abstract int nonNullCompare(java.lang.Object o1,
                                      java.lang.Object o2)

Compares its two arguments for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.

Note that both objects are guaranteed to be non-null.

Parameters:

o1 - the first object to be compared

o2 - the second object to be compared

Returns:

an integer representing relative ordering

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - if the arguments' types prevent them from being compared by this comparator
