Interface Pojomator<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the class this Pojomator is generated for.

All Known Implementing Classes:

PojomatorImpl

public interface Pojomator<T>

A provider of the three standard Object methods, Object.equals(Object), Object.hashCode() and Object.toString().

Method Summary

Differences	doDiff(T instance, T other) Compute the differences between instance and other among the properties examined by doEquals(Object, Object).
boolean	doEquals(T instance, java.lang.Object other) Compute whether instance and other are equal to each other in the sense of Object's equals method.
int	doHashCode(T instance) Compute the hashCode for a given instance of T.
java.lang.String	doToString(T instance) Compute the toString representation for a given instance of T

Method Detail

doHashCode

int doHashCode(T instance)

Compute the hashCode for a given instance of T.

Parameters:

instance - the instance to compute the hashCode for - must not be null

Returns:

the hashCode of instance

See Also:

Object.hashCode()

doToString

java.lang.String doToString(T instance)

Compute the toString representation for a given instance of T

Parameters:

instance - the instance to compute the toString representation for - must not be null

Returns:

the toString representation of instance

See Also:

Object.toString()

doEquals

boolean doEquals(T instance,
                 java.lang.Object other)

Compute whether instance and other are equal to each other in the sense of Object's equals method.

Parameters:

instance - the instance to test against - must not be null

other - the instance to test

Returns:

true if instance should be considered equal to other, and false otherwise.

See Also:

Object.equals(Object)

doDiff

Differences doDiff(T instance,
                   T other)

Compute the differences between instance and other among the properties examined by doEquals(Object, Object). It is guaranteed that invoking Differences.areEqual() on the returned object will return true iff instance.equals(other).

Parameters:

instance - the instance to diff against - must not be null

other - the instance to diff

Returns:

the differences between instance and other among the properties examined by doEquals(Object, Object).
