Class DynamicPropertyPath

java.lang.Object
  org.compass.core.engine.naming.DynamicPropertyPath

All Implemented Interfaces:

PropertyPath

Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultPropertyPath

public class DynamicPropertyPath
extends Object
implements PropertyPath

A dynamic path implementations. Holds the path elements in an array, and constrcut it each time getPath() is called.

Benefits of using this implementation is its low memory footprint, while extra processing is made for runtime path construction (mainly during marshalling/unmarshalling operations)

hintStatic() uses the same implementation, and retains its dynamic nature.

Method Detail

getPath

public String getPath()

Description copied from interface: PropertyPath

Returns the path. Note, the dynamic path construction might occur.

Specified by:

getPath in interface PropertyPath

hintStatic

public PropertyPath hintStatic()

Description copied from interface: PropertyPath

Compass path construction process will hint on heavily used path elements that might be better off made static. The implementation might decide to create a PropertyPath implementation that is more static in nature.

Specified by:

hintStatic in interface PropertyPath

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
