Class EqualUtils

java.lang.Object

org.gvsig.fmap.geom.jts.transform.EqualUtils

public final class EqualUtils
extends Object

Collected methods which allow easy implementation of equals. Rewritten from http://www.javapractices.com/topic/TopicAction.do?Id=17. Example use case in a class called Car:

public boolean equals(Object aThat){
  if ( this == aThat ) return true;
  if ( !(aThat instanceof Car) ) return false;
  Car that = (Car)aThat;
  return
    EqualsUtil.areEqual(this.name, that.name) &&
    EqualsUtil.areEqual(this.numDoors, that.numDoors) &&
    EqualsUtil.areEqual(this.gasMileage, that.gasMileage) &&
    EqualsUtil.areEqual(this.color, that.color) &&
    Arrays.equals(this.maintenanceChecks, that.maintenanceChecks); //array!
}
 

Arrays are not handled by this class. This is because the Arrays.equals methods should be used for array fields.
