Class AbstractPropertyState

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.jackrabbit.mk.model.AbstractPropertyState

All Implemented Interfaces:

PropertyState

public abstract class AbstractPropertyState
extends Object
implements PropertyState

Abstract base class for PropertyState implementations. This base class contains default implementations of the equals(Object) and hashCode() methods based on the implemented interface.

Constructor Summary

AbstractPropertyState()

Method Summary

boolean	equals(Object that) Checks whether the given object is equal to this one.
String	getEncodedValue() Default implementation delegating to JsonBuilder.encode(Scalar).
int	hashCode() Returns a hash code that's compatible with how the equals(Object) method is implemented.

Method Detail

getEncodedValue

public String getEncodedValue()

Default implementation delegating to JsonBuilder.encode(Scalar). Derived classes may override this with more efficient implementations.

Specified by:

getEncodedValue in interface PropertyState

Returns:

the JSON encoded value of this property state.

equals

public boolean equals(Object that)

Checks whether the given object is equal to this one. Two property states are considered equal if both their names and encoded values match. Subclasses may override this method with a more efficient equality check if one is available.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

that - target of the comparison

Returns:

true if the objects are equal, false otherwise

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code that's compatible with how the equals(Object) method is implemented. The current implementation simply returns the hash code of the property name since PropertyState instances are not intended for use as hash keys.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

hash code
