Package org.zkoss.util

Class IdentityComparator<T>

java.lang.Object

org.zkoss.util.IdentityComparator<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<T>

public class IdentityComparator<T>
extends Object
implements Comparator<T>

The comparator uses == and System.identifyHashCode to compare two objects. It assumes if o1 != o2, then c1 != c2 where c1 = System.identityHashCode(o1).

This is useful if dynamic proxy is used with TreeSet or TreeMap (so equals is expensive). Reason: the speed of identifyHashCode is much faster than dynamic proxy (150:1).

However, if possible, java.util.IdentityHashMap and IdentityHashSet are preferred.
