Package org.drools.core.common

Class EqualityKey

java.lang.Object

org.drools.core.util.LinkedList<DefaultFactHandle>

org.drools.core.common.EqualityKey

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Externalizable, java.io.Serializable

public abstract class EqualityKey
extends LinkedList<DefaultFactHandle>
implements java.io.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

public InternalFactHandle getFactHandle()

addFactHandle

public void addFactHandle(InternalFactHandle handle)

removeFactHandle

public void removeFactHandle(InternalFactHandle handle)

getStatus

public int getStatus()

Returns:

the status

setStatus

public void setStatus(int status)

Parameters:

status - the status to set

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the cached hashCode

Overrides:

hashCode in class LinkedList<DefaultFactHandle>

See Also:

Object.hashCode()

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.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>
