Method Detail

hasField

public static <T,U> org.hamcrest.Matcher<T> hasField(java.lang.String field,
                                                     org.hamcrest.Matcher<U> value)

Checks that an entity has a field with a value that is matched by the provided matcher. The field does not have to be public or to have a visible accessor. Field is accessed directly.

Parameters:

field - the name of a field

value - a matcher to validate the field value.

hasField

public static <T> org.hamcrest.Matcher<T> hasField(java.lang.String field)

Checks that an entity has a given field, whatever its value. The field does not have to be public or to have a visible accessor. Field is accessed directly.

Parameters:

field - the name of the expected field

componentEqualTo

public static <T> org.hamcrest.Matcher<T> componentEqualTo(T component)

Checks that a component (aka value object) is equal to another given component. A null component is considered to be equal to a component with only null persistent field values. Persistent fields of a component are fields that are neither static or transient.

Parameters:

component - the component to match against.

samePersistentFieldsAs

public static <T> org.hamcrest.Matcher<T> samePersistentFieldsAs(T entity)

Checks that an entity has the same persistent field values than another entity. Persistent fields of an entity are fields that are neither static or transient.

Parameters:

entity - the entity to compare to.
