Constructor Detail

ComparableComparator

public ComparableComparator(String oid)

The BooleanComparator constructor. Its OID is the BooleanMatch matching rule OID.

Method Detail

compare

public int compare(Comparable<T> o1,
                   Comparable<T> o2)

Compares two objects taking into account that one may be a Comparable. If the first is a comparable then its compareTo operation is called and the result returned as is. If the first is not a Comparable but the second is then its compareTo method is called and the result is returned after being negated. If none are comparables the hashCode of o1 minus the hashCode of o2 is returned.
