Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

ERPObject

protected ERPObject()

The constructor for the abstract object. Initializes all field values to null. The object's hash code is zero.

ERPObject

protected ERPObject(java.lang.String[] hashflds)

The constructor for the abstract object. Initializes all field values to null.

Parameters:

hashflds - (String[]) The set of field names used to determine the object's hash code. The field names supplied should match the fields referenced in the object's equals method. If no fields names are supplied, the object's hash code is zero.

Method Detail

compareTo

public int compareTo(ERPOBJ obj)

Compares this object to the given object and determines if this object is less than, equal to or greater than the given object. Comparison is based on hash code fields that were defined in the object's constructor.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<ERPOBJ extends MappedAttributesObject>

Parameters:

obj - (ERPOBJ) The object to compare with this object.

Returns:

int - The result of the comparison: a negative integer if less than, a positive integer if greater than, a zero if equal.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Compares the given object to this object and determines if the two are equal. Equality is based on hash code fields that were defined in the object's constructor.

Specified by:

equals in class MappedAttributesObject

Parameters:

obj - (Object) The object to compare with this object.

Returns:

boolean - true if the specified object is equal to this object, otherwise false.

after

public boolean after(ERPOBJ obj)

Answers if this object is greater than the given object based on the object's compareTo method results.

Parameters:

obj - (ERPOBJ) The object to compare to this object to.

Returns:

boolean - true if this object is greater than the given object, otherwise false.

before

public boolean before(ERPOBJ obj)

Answers if this object is less than the given object based on the object's compareTo method results.

Parameters:

obj - (ERPOBJ) The object to compare to this object to.

Returns:

boolean - true if this object is less than the given object, otherwise false.
