Class UnambiguousAnnotationComparator

java.lang.Object

psidev.psi.mi.jami.utils.comparator.annotation.AnnotationComparator

psidev.psi.mi.jami.utils.comparator.annotation.UnambiguousAnnotationComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<Annotation>

public class UnambiguousAnnotationComparator
extends AnnotationComparator

Strict annotation comparator It compares first the topics and then the value (case insensitive) - Two annotations which are null are equals - The annotation which is not null is before null. - use UnambiguousCvTermComparator to compare the topics. If they are equals, compares the values (case insensitive) - If both annotations have same topic, the one with a null value is always after the one with a non null value.

Constructor Detail

UnambiguousAnnotationComparator

public UnambiguousAnnotationComparator()

Creates a new AnnotationComparator with UnambiguousCvTermComparator

Method Detail

getTopicComparator

public UnambiguousCvTermComparator getTopicComparator()

Getter for the field topicComparator.

Overrides:

getTopicComparator in class AnnotationComparator

Returns:

a Comparator object.

compare

public int compare(Annotation annotation1,
                   Annotation annotation2)

It compares first the topics and then the value (case insensitive) - Two annotations which are null are equals - The annotation which is not null is before null. - use UnambiguousCvTermComparator to compare the topics. If they are equals, compares the values (case insensitive) - If both annotations have same topic, the one with a null value is always after the one with a non null value.

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator<Annotation>

Overrides:

compare in class AnnotationComparator

Parameters:

annotation1 - a Annotation object.

annotation2 - a Annotation object.

Returns:

a int.

areEquals

public static boolean areEquals(Annotation annotation1,
                                Annotation annotation2)

Use UnambiguousAnnotationComparator to know if two annotations are equals.

Parameters:

annotation1 - a Annotation object.

annotation2 - a Annotation object.

Returns:

true if the two annotations are equal

hashCode

public static int hashCode(Annotation annot)

hashCode

Parameters:

annot - a Annotation object.

Returns:

the hashcode consistent with the equals method for this comparator
