All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Comparator<User>

public class UserComparator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Comparator<User>

Supplies re-useable methods for equals, hashcode and compareTo that can be shared with different implementations of User in order to be compatible. You can also instantiate this class to get a Comparator of User.

Singleton instance of Comparator

KEY_MAKER

public static com.google.common.base.Function<User,UserComparator.Key> KEY_MAKER

A Function to turn Users into representative keys that sort in the same order as this Comparator.

Method Detail

equal

public static boolean equal(User user1,
                            User user2)

Checks whether the two User objects are equal according to the contract of the User interface.

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

    public boolean equals(Object o)
    {
        return (o instanceof User) && UserComparator.equal(this, (User) o);
    }
 

Parameters:

user1 - First User

user2 - Second User

Returns:

true if these are two equal Users.
