Interface DeepCompare

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface DeepCompare

Classes that implement this interface can deep-compare [for equality only, not order] with another instance. They do a deep compare. If there is any semantically significant difference, an implementer throws an Exception to be thrown with a chain of causes describing the chain of field references and indices that get you to the miscompared point.

Method Summary

void	deepCompare(DeepCompare other, TreePath myLocation)

Method Detail

deepCompare

void deepCompare(DeepCompare other,
                 TreePath myLocation)
                 throws DeepInequalityException

Parameters:

other - the other comparand that's being compared to me

myLocation - the path that got to me. In the root, myLocation is null. To process the scalar foo field of the root we will make a recursive call with a TreePath whose fieldName is "bar" and whose index is -1 and whose parent is null. To process the plural bar field of the root we will make a recursive call with a TreePath whose fieldName is "foo" and whose index is -1 and whose parent is also null.

Throws:

DeepInequalityException
