- psidev.psi.mi.jami.utils.comparator.interaction.DefaultInteractionBaseComparator

```
public class DefaultInteractionBaseComparator
extends Object
```
Default Interaction comparator. It will first compare the interaction types using DefaultCvTermComparator. Then it will compare the rigids if both are set (case sensitive). Then it will compare the identifiers if both interactions have at least one identifier and it will look for at least one identical identifier using DefaultExternalIdentifierComparator. If one of the interactions does not have any identifiers, it will compare the shortnames (case sensitive, shortname null comes always after)
