Class EqualityKey

java.lang.Object
  org.drools.core.util.LinkedList<DefaultFactHandle>
      org.drools.core.common.EqualityKey

All Implemented Interfaces:

Externalizable, Serializable

public class EqualityKey
extends LinkedList<DefaultFactHandle>
implements Externalizable

Upon instantiation the EqualityKey caches the first Object's hashCode this can never change. The EqualityKey has an internal datastructure which references all the handles which are equal. It also records Whether the referenced facts are JUSTIFIED or STATED

getStatus

public int getStatus()

Returns:

the status

getBeliefSet

public BeliefSet getBeliefSet()

setBeliefSet

public void setBeliefSet(BeliefSet beliefSet)

setStatus

public void setStatus(int status)

Parameters:

status - the status to set

toString

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Equality for the EqualityKey means two things. It returns true if the object is also an EqualityKey the of the same the same identity as this. It also returns true if the object is equal to the head FactHandle's referenced Object.

Overrides:

equals in class LinkedList<DefaultFactHandle>
