Constructor Detail

ObjectIdentity

public ObjectIdentity(java.lang.Class pcClass,
                      java.lang.Object param)

Constructor with class and key.

Parameters:

pcClass - the class

param - the key

ObjectIdentity

public ObjectIdentity()

Constructor only for Externalizable.

Method Detail

getKey

public java.lang.Object getKey()

Return the key.

Returns:

the key

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Return the String form of the object id. The class of the object id is written as the first part of the result so that the class can be reconstructed later. Then the toString of the key instance is appended. During construction, this process is reversed. The class is extracted from the first part of the String, and the String constructor of the key is used to construct the key itself.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the String form of the key

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Determine if the other object represents the same object id.

Overrides:

equals in class SingleFieldIdentity

Parameters:

obj - the other object

Returns:

true if both objects represent the same object id

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object o)

Determine the ordering of identity objects.

Parameters:

o - Other identity

Returns:

The relative ordering between the objects
