Method Detail

compareTo

public final int compareTo(Object obj)

Description copied from class: ComponentID

Compare this component identifier with the specified object for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer if this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

Component ordering is determined by comparing the component identifier attributes in the following order:

1. component type (nb. any subclass of ComponentID may be safely compared without causing a ClassCastException)
2. component name
3. component vendor
4. component version

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable

Specified by:

compareTo in class ComponentID

Parameters:

obj - the object to compare this with.

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer if this component identifier is considered less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

See Also:

Comparable.compareTo(Object)

clone

public Object clone()

Create a copy of this event type component identifier.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Returns:

a copy of this event type component identifier.

See Also:

Object.clone()

getClassName

protected String getClassName()

Description copied from class: ComponentID

Get the class name of this component identifier. More efficient than getClass().getName().

Specified by:

getClassName in class ComponentID

Returns:

the class name of this component identifier.
