Method Detail

compare

public static boolean compare(java.util.List l1,
                              java.util.List l2)

Compares two lists of elements, using the value returned of the toString() method of each element.
Each element must also implement the Comparable interface.
This method considers case sensitive .

Parameters:

l1 - First list of items. @see java.util.List

l2 - Second list of items. @see java.util.List

Returns:

True if the two lists have the same number of elements, and elements are in the same position of the two lists and have the same String value .

compareIgnoringCaseSensitive

public static boolean compareIgnoringCaseSensitive(java.util.List l1,
                                                   java.util.List l2)

Compares two lists of elements, using the value returned of the toString() method of each element.
Each element must also implement the Comparable interface.
This method ignores case sensitive during the comparation.

Parameters:

l1 - First list of items. @see java.util.List

l2 - Second list of items. @see java.util.List

Returns:

True if the two lists have the same number of elements, and elements are in the same position of the two lists and have the same String value .

compare

public static boolean compare(java.util.List l1,
                              java.util.List l2,
                              java.util.Comparator comp)

Compares two lists of elements, using the value returned of the toString() method of each element.
Each element must also implement the Comparable interface.

Parameters:

l1 - First list of items. @see java.util.List

l2 - Second list of items. @see java.util.List

comp - A class which implements the compare method of the Comparator interface .

Returns:

True if the two lists have the same number of elements, and elements are in the same position of the two lists and have the same String value .

compareIgnoringCaseSensitive

public static boolean compareIgnoringCaseSensitive(java.util.List l1,
                                                   java.util.List l2,
                                                   java.util.Comparator comp)

Compares two lists of elements, using the value returned of the toString() method of each element.
Each element must also implement the Comparable interface.
This method ignores case sensitive during the comparation.

Parameters:

l1 - First list of items. @see java.util.List

l2 - Second list of items. @see java.util.List

comp - A class which implements the compare method of the Comparator interface .

Returns:
