Class Id

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

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<Id>

public class Id
extends Object
implements Comparable<Id>

Represents an internal identifier, uniquely identifying a Node or a Commit.

This implementation aims at minimizing the in-memory footprint of an identifier instance. therefore it doesn't cash e.g. the hashCode or the string representation.

Important Note:

An Id is considered immutable. The byte[] passed to Id(byte[]) must not be reused or modified, the same applies for the byte[] returned by getBytes().

Constructor Summary

Id(byte[] raw)
Creates a new instance based on the passed byte[].

Method Summary

int	compareTo(Id o)
boolean	equals(Object obj)
static Id	fromString(String s) Creates an Id instance from its string representation as returned by toString().
byte[]	getBytes() Returns the raw byte representation of this identifier.
int	hashCode()
String	toString()

Constructor Detail

Id

public Id(byte[] raw)

Creates a new instance based on the passed byte[].

The passed byte[] mus not be reused, it's assumed to be owned by the new Id instance.

Parameters:

raw - the byte representation

Method Detail

fromString

public static Id fromString(String s)

Creates an Id instance from its string representation as returned by toString().

The following condition holds true:

 Id someId = ...;
 assert(Id.fromString(someId.toString()).equals(someId));
 

Parameters:

s - a string representation of an Id

Returns:

an Id instance

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

compareTo

public int compareTo(Id o)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<Id>

getBytes

public byte[] getBytes()

Returns the raw byte representation of this identifier.

The returned byte[] MUST NOT be modified!

Returns:

the raw byte representation
