Package com.bea.wlpi.common Description

Provides common classes used by both the WebLogic Process Integrator client and server. All members of this package are serializable to enable them to be exchanged between client and server. Their primary purpose is to eliminate unnecessary 'read-only' remote method calls.

Those classes whose names follow the xxxInfo pattern hold values from various server-side objects (including entity EJBs used internally): all such classes override the boolean equals(Object) and implement the comparable interface. Homogeneous collections containing objects of this class may therefore be searched and sorted using the Collection.contains(Object), List.indexOf(Object), Collections.sort(List) methods. Note that only in those cases where the natural ordering of the object (as implemented by the boolean compareTo(Object) method) is based on the same field as that used by the boolean equals(Object) method, may the int Collections.binarySearch(List, Object) be used for rapidly searching a list that has previously been sorted using the Collections.sort(List) method.
