Class EqualsHashCodeBuilder

  • public final class EqualsHashCodeBuilder
extends java.lang.Object
    Builder to simplify implementing the Object.equals(Object) and Object.hashCode() methods. This class uses ArrayList's implementation of AbstractList.equals(Object) and AbstractList.hashCode() and takes special care with deep arrays and Collection based objects.

    • Method Summary

      All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods 
      Modifier and Type Method Description
      EqualsHashCodeBuilder append​(java.lang.Object object)
      Appends the field value to an ArrayList to help facilitate equality testing.
      void appendBean​(java.lang.Object obj)
      This method will attempt to use reflection to get all the properties that make up the identity of the object.
      boolean equals​(java.lang.Object obj)
      Determine equality based on the value of the members append to the builder.
      int hashCode()
      Determine the hashcode based on the various members.
      java.lang.String toString()
      Show the contents that make up the key.

    • Method Detail

      • append

        public EqualsHashCodeBuilder append​(java.lang.Object object)
        Appends the field value to an ArrayList to help facilitate equality testing.
        Parameters:
        object - the object to append
        Returns:
        this instance
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if a collection is passed since collections do not support value based equality. Sets, Lists, and Maps will work since they support value based equality.

      • appendBean

        public void appendBean​(java.lang.Object obj)
        This method will attempt to use reflection to get all the properties that make up the identity of the object. It will append(Object) all results from get methods that have a corresponding set method.

      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.Object obj)
        Determine equality based on the value of the members append to the builder.
        Overrides:
        equals in class java.lang.Object
        Parameters:
        obj - the reference object with which to compare.
        Returns:
        true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.
        See Also:
        Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Determine the hashcode based on the various members.
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        a hash code value for this object.
        See Also:
        Object.hashCode()

      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Show the contents that make up the key.
        Overrides:
        toString in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        a string representation of the object.
        See Also:
        Object.toString()
