Class IndexListMergeBehavior<T extends List>

java.lang.Object

com.alee.api.merge.behavior.IndexListMergeBehavior<T>

Type Parameters:

T - List type

All Implemented Interfaces:

GlobalMergeBehavior<T,T,T>, Serializable

public class IndexListMergeBehavior<T extends List>
extends Object
implements GlobalMergeBehavior<T,T,T>

List merge behavior by their element indices. Only elements under the same indices will be merged, everything else will be added at the end of list. If existing list is smaller than merged one new list 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.

Description copied from interface: GlobalMergeBehavior

Returns whether or not this behavior supports specified objects merge.

Specified by:

supports in interface GlobalMergeBehavior<T extends List,T extends List,T extends List>

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<T extends List,T extends List,T extends List>

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
