Class IndexArrayMergeBehavior

java.lang.Object

com.alee.api.merge.behavior.IndexArrayMergeBehavior

All Implemented Interfaces:

GlobalMergeBehavior<Object,Object,Object>, Serializable

public class IndexArrayMergeBehavior
extends Object
implements GlobalMergeBehavior<Object,Object,Object>

Array merge behavior by their element indices. Only elements under the same indices will be merged, everything else will be added at the end of array. If existing array is smaller than merged array new array will be created for the merge result. Also new array will be created for the merge result if existing and merged array component types are inconsistent.

todo 1. Provide a different merge behavior similar to ListMergeBehavior

Specified by:

supports in interface GlobalMergeBehavior<Object,Object,Object>

Parameters:

merge - RecursiveMerge algorithm

type - expected resulting object Class type

base - base object, should never be null

merged - object to merge, should never be null

Returns:

true if this behavior supports specified objects merge, false otherwise

Description copied from interface: GlobalMergeBehavior

Performs merge of the two provided objects and returns resulting object. Depending on the case it might be one of the two provided objects or their merge result.

Specified by:

merge in interface GlobalMergeBehavior<Object,Object,Object>

Parameters:

merge - RecursiveMerge algorithm

type - expected resulting object Class type

base - base object, should never be null

merged - object to merge, should never be null

depth - merge calls stack depth

Returns:

merge result
