Class ObjectType

java.lang.Object

com.helger.commons.type.ObjectType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<ObjectType>

@ThreadSafe
 @DevelopersNote(value="The mutable m_aHashCode does not contradict thread safety")
public class ObjectType
extends Object
implements Comparable<ObjectType>, Serializable

This class encapsulates an internal object type.
Note: it is not based on an interface, because this may lead to difficulties comparing different object type implementations of the same interface. By not using an interface, implementers are forced to use exactly this implementation class.
