Method Detail

getMethod

public IDeltaComputationOptions.ComputationMethod getMethod(java.lang.String association)

Description copied from interface: IDeltaComputationOptions

Returns if the delta computation computes child deltas per position/index or per object.

1. Example for a 1-many association:

A contract version A has three coverages c0, c1, and c2. A second version B of the same contract has a new coverage cNew inserted between coverage c0 and c1. The coverages c0, c1,and c2 are unchanged except for their position.

If this method returns IDeltaComputationOptions.ComputationMethod.BY_POSITION, the following deltas are computed.

• position 0: version A:c0, version B:c0 ⇒ empty delta
• position 1: version A:c1, version B:cNew ⇒ changed
• position 2: version A:c2, version B:c1 ⇒ changed
• position 3: version A:none, version B:c2 ⇒ added

If this method returns IDeltaComputationOptions.ComputationMethod.BY_OBJECT, the following deltas are computed.

• c0: version A:position 0, version B:position 0 ⇒ empty delta
• c1: version A:position 1, version B:position 2 ⇒ moved
• c2: version A:position 2, version B:position 3 ⇒ moved
• cNew: version A:position none, version B:position 1 ⇒ added

2. Example for a 1-many association:

Same scenario as above, but now c1 is removed and no coverage is added.

If this method returns IDeltaComputationOptions.ComputationMethod.BY_POSITION, the following deltas are computed.

• position 0: version A:c0, version B:c0 ⇒ empty delta
• position 1: version A:c1, version B:v2 ⇒ changed
• position 2: version A:c2, version B:none ⇒ removed

If this method returns IDeltaComputationOptions.ComputationMethod.BY_OBJECT, the following deltas are computed.

• c0: version A:position 0, version B:position 0 ⇒ empty delta
• c1: version A:position 1, version B:position none ⇒ removed
• c2: version A:position 2, version B:position 1 ⇒ moved

Example for a 1-1 association:

A contract version A has the insured person p0. A second contract version B has the insured person p1.

If this method returns IDeltaComputationOptions.ComputationMethod.BY_POSITION, the following delta is computed.

• position 0: changed

If this method returns IDeltaComputationOptions.ComputationMethod.BY_OBJECT, the following deltas are computed.

• p0: removed
• p1: added

Specified by:

getMethod in interface IDeltaComputationOptions

isSame

public boolean isSame(IModelObject object1,
                      IModelObject object2)

Returns true if the specified object references are identical.

Specified by:

isSame in interface IDeltaComputationOptions

ignore

public boolean ignore(java.lang.Class<?> clazz,
                      java.lang.String property)

Returns false.

Specified by:

ignore in interface IDeltaComputationOptions

Parameters:

clazz - The class the property belongs to.

property - The name of the property.

isCreateSubtreeDelta

public boolean isCreateSubtreeDelta()

Description copied from interface: IDeltaComputationOptions

Controls whether delta objects for added or removed subtree elements should be created explicitly.

This method returns true if a delta should be created for added or removed subtrees. If this method returns false a delta is only created for the root of an added or removed subtree. For non-composition associations, this property is ignored because such associated objects are never processed recursively.

The creation of delta elements for subtree nodes is based on reflection and may cause a performance issue if used in massive delta computation with many added or removed subtrees.

Specified by:

isCreateSubtreeDelta in interface IDeltaComputationOptions

Returns:

true if a delta should be created for every element of an added or removed subtree.

areValuesEqual

public boolean areValuesEqual(java.lang.Class<?> modelClass,
                              java.lang.String property,
                              java.lang.Object value1,
                              java.lang.Object value2)

Description copied from interface: IDeltaComputationOptions

Compares two values for equality by the given model class and property, where either one or both values may be null.

Specified by:

areValuesEqual in interface IDeltaComputationOptions

Parameters:

modelClass - The class the property belongs to.

property - The name of the property.

value1 - The first value to compare

value2 - The second value to compare

Returns:

true if the values are the same

ignoreAssociations

public boolean ignoreAssociations()

Description copied from interface: IDeltaComputationOptions

Controls whether associations should be ignored when computing deltas. If set to true, only parent-to-child relations will be included.

Specified by:

ignoreAssociations in interface IDeltaComputationOptions

Returns:

whether associations should be ignored.
