Method Detail

• deepEquals

  public static boolean deepEquals(AutoBean<?> a,
                   AutoBean<?> b)

  Compare two graphs of AutoBeans based on values.

  • AutoBeans are compared based on type and property values
  • Lists are compared with element-order equality
  • Sets and all other Collection types are compare with bag equality
  • Maps are compared as a lists of keys-value pairs
  • Splittables are compared by value

  This will work for both simple and wrapper AutoBeans.

  This method may crawl the entire object graph reachable from the input parameters and may be arbitrarily expensive to compute.

  Parameters:

  a - an AutoBean

  b - an AutoBean

  Returns:

  false if any values in the graph reachable through a are different from those reachable from b

• diff

  public static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> diff(AutoBean<?> a,
                                                      AutoBean<?> b)

  Returns a map of properties that differ (via Object.equals(Object)) between two AutoBeans. The keys are property names and the values are the value of the property in b. Properties present in a but missing in b will be represented by null values. This implementation will compare AutoBeans of different parameterizations, although the diff produced is likely meaningless.

  This will work for both simple and wrapper AutoBeans.

  Parameters:

  a - an AutoBean

  b - an AutoBean

  Returns:

  a Map of differing properties

• getAllProperties

  public static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> getAllProperties(AutoBean<?> bean)

  Returns a map that is a copy of the properties contained in an AutoBean. The returned map is mutable, but editing it will not have any effect on the bean that produced it.

  Parameters:

  bean - an AutoBean

  Returns:

  a Map of the bean's properties

• getAutoBean

  public static <T,U extends T> AutoBean<T> getAutoBean(U delegate)

  Return the single AutoBean wrapper that is observing the delegate object or null if the parameter is nullor not wrapped by an AutoBean.

  Parameters:

  delegate - a delegate object, or null

  Returns:

  the AutoBean wrapper for the delegate, or null

• sameOrEquals

  static boolean sameOrEquals(java.lang.Object value,
                     java.lang.Object otherValue,
                     java.util.Map<com.google.web.bindery.autobean.shared.AutoBeanUtils.PendingComparison,com.google.web.bindery.autobean.shared.AutoBeanUtils.Comparison> pending)

  Compare two AutoBeans, this method has the type fan-out.
