Constructor Detail

ComparisonFilter

public ComparisonFilter()

Default constructor (necessary for the ExternalizableLite interface).

ComparisonFilter

public ComparisonFilter(ValueExtractor extractor,
                        Object oValue)

Construct a ComparisonFilter.

Parameters:

extractor - the ComparisonFilter to use by this filter

oValue - the object to compare the result with

ComparisonFilter

public ComparisonFilter(String sMethod,
                        Object oValue)

Construct a ComparisonFilter.

Parameters:

sMethod - the name of the method to invoke via reflection

oValue - the object to compare the result with

Method Detail

getValue

public Object getValue()

Get the object to compare the reflection result with.

Returns:

the object to compare the reflection result with

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compare the ComparisonFilter with another object to determine equality. Two ComparisonFilter objects are considered equal iff they belong to exactly the same class and their extractor and value are equal.

Returns:

true iff this ComparisonFilter and the passed object are equivalent ComparisonFilters

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Determine a hash value for the ComparisonFilter object according to the general Object.hashCode() contract.

Returns:

an integer hash value for this ComparisonFilter object

toString

public String toString()

Return a human-readable description for this Filter.

Returns:

a String description of the Filter

readExternal

public void readExternal(DataInput in)
                  throws IOException

Restore the contents of this object by loading the object's state from the passed DataInput object.

Specified by:

readExternal in interface ExternalizableLite

Overrides:

readExternal in class ExtractorFilter

Parameters:

in - the DataInput stream to read data from in order to restore the state of this object

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O exception occurs

NotActiveException - if the object is not in its initial state, and therefore cannot be deserialized into

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(DataOutput out)
                   throws IOException

Save the contents of this object by storing the object's state into the passed DataOutput object.

Specified by:

writeExternal in interface ExternalizableLite

Overrides:

writeExternal in class ExtractorFilter

Parameters:

out - the DataOutput stream to write the state of this object to

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O exception occurs

readExternal

public void readExternal(PofReader in)
                  throws IOException

Restore the contents of a user type instance by reading its state using the specified PofReader object.

Specified by:

readExternal in interface PortableObject

Overrides:

readExternal in class ExtractorFilter

Parameters:

in - the PofReader from which to read the object's state

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(PofWriter out)
                   throws IOException

Save the contents of a POF user type instance by writing its state using the specified PofWriter object.

Specified by:

writeExternal in interface PortableObject

Overrides:

writeExternal in class ExtractorFilter

Parameters:

out - the PofWriter to which to write the object's state

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs
