EntryComparator Class Reference

#include <coherence/util/comparator/EntryComparator.hpp>

Inherits SafeComparator.

List of all members.


Detailed Description

Comparator implementation used to compare map entries.

Depending on the comparison style this comparator will compare entries' values, entries' keys or, when the provided comparator is an instance of QueryMapComparator, the entries themselves.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

EntryComparator ( Comparator::View  vComparator,
int32_t  nStyle = cmp_auto 
) [protected]

Construct a SafeComparator delegating to the specified (wrapped) comparator.

Parameters:
vComparator Comparator object to delegate comparison of non-null values (optional)


Member Function Documentation

virtual int32_t compare ( Object::View  vO1,
Object::View  vO2 
) const [virtual]

Compares two arguments for order.

The arguments must be coherence::util::Map::Entry objects. Depending on the comparison style, this method will pass either the entries' values, keys or the entries themselves to the underlying Comparator.

Parameters:
vO1 the first object to be compared
vO2 the second object to be compared
Returns:
a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second
Exceptions:
ClassCastException if the arguments' types prevent them from being compared by this Comparator.

Reimplemented from SafeComparator.

int32_t getComparisonStyle (  ) 

Obtain the comparison style value utilized by this EntryComparator.

The returned value should be one of the CMP_* constants.

Returns:
the comparison style value

bool isCompareValue (  ) 

Check whether or not this EntryComparator uses entries' values to pass for comparison to the underlying Comparator.

Returns:
true iff entries' values are used for comparison

bool isCompareKey (  ) 

Check whether or not this EntryComparator uses entries' keys to pass for comparison to the underlying Comparator.

Returns:
true iff entries' keys are used for comparison

bool isCompareEntry (  ) 

Check whether or not this EntryComparator pass entries themselves for comparison to the underlying QueryMapComparator::compareEntries method.

Returns:
true iff entries themselves are used for comparison


Member Data Documentation

int32_t m_nStyle [protected]
