Class SegmentComparator

java.lang.Object
  org.ow2.weblab.core.extended.comparator.SegmentComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.util.Comparator<org.ow2.weblab.core.model.Segment>

public class SegmentComparator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.util.Comparator<org.ow2.weblab.core.model.Segment>

A Comparator for Segments.
First of all Segment are ordered using their type: LinearSegment, TemporalSegment, SpatialSegment an then any other Segment.
Then Segments of same types are compare together.
For LinearSegment and TemporalSegment: The smaller is the one that starts first. If equals, the smaller is the first that stops too. If equals, they are equals (in comparison terms, non consistent with equals of Resource).
For SpatialSegment: The smaller is the one with the less Coordinates. If equals, we process all the coordinates to find the first difference between Xs and then Ys (Coordinate by Coordinate). The smaller is the smaller using this first difference. If all number (x and y) in Coordinates are equals, then Segments are equals (in comparison terms, non consistent with equals of Resource).

WARNING:

Comparison is inconsistent with equals() since no equals() was generated by JAX-WS and it will use the default one from Object.
