Class GroupComparator

java.lang.Object
com.atlassian.crowd.model.group.GroupComparator
All Implemented Interfaces:
Comparator<Group>

public class GroupComparator extends Object implements Comparator<Group>
Supplies re-useable methods for equals, hashcode and compareTo that can be shared with different implementations of Group in order to be compatible. You can also instantiate this class to get a Comparator of Group. Note: the GroupComparator is distinct from the EmbeddedGroupComparator as model groups take the directoryId into consideration when performing equals/hashCode/compareTo.
  • Field Details

    • GROUP_COMPARATOR

      public static final Comparator<Group> GROUP_COMPARATOR
      Singleton instance of Comparator<Group>
  • Method Details

    • equal

      public static boolean equal(Group group1, Group group2)
      Checks whether the two Group objects are equal according to the contract of the Group interface.

      If you are implementing DirectoryEntity.equals(Object) then just write code like this:

          public boolean equals(Object o)
          {
              return (o instanceof Group) && GroupComparator.equal(this, (Group) o);
          }
       
      Parameters:
      group1 - First Group
      group2 - Second Group
      Returns:
      true if these are two equal Groups.
