Class CookiePathComparator

java.lang.Object
org.apache.http.cookie.CookiePathComparator
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparator<Cookie>
public class CookiePathComparator
extends Object
implements Serializable, Comparator<Cookie>
This cookie comparator ensures that multiple cookies satisfying a common criteria are ordered in the Cookie header such that those with more specific Path attributes precede those with less specific.

This comparator assumes that Path attributes of two cookies path-match a commmon request-URI. Otherwise, the result of the comparison is undefined.

      public int compare​(Cookie c1, Cookie c2)
      Description copied from interface: Comparator
      Compares the two specified objects to determine their relative ordering. The ordering implied by the return value of this method for all possible pairs of (lhs, rhs) should form an equivalence relation. This means that
      • compare(a,a) returns zero for all a
      • the sign of compare(a,b) must be the opposite of the sign of compare(b,a) for all pairs of (a,b)
      • From compare(a,b) > 0 and compare(b,c) > 0 it must follow compare(a,c) > 0 for all possible combinations of (a,b,c)
      Specified by:
      compare in interface Comparator<Cookie>
      Parameters:
      c1 - an Object.
      c2 - a second Object to compare with lhs.
      Returns:
      an integer < 0 if lhs is less than rhs, 0 if they are equal, and > 0 if lhs is greater than rhs.
