public enum ComparisonMode extends Enum<ComparisonMode>
LenientComparable
objects
for equality. This enumeration allows users to specify which kind of differences can be
tolerated between two objects: differences in implementation class, differences in
some kinds of property, or slight difference in numerical values.
This enumeration is ordered from stricter to more lenient levels:
STRICT
– All attributes of the compared objects shall be strictly equal.BY_CONTRACT
– Only the attributes published in the interface contract need to be compared.IGNORE_METADATA
– Only the attributes relevant to the object functionality are compared.APPROXIMATIVE
– Only the attributes relevant to the object functionality are compared,
with some tolerance threshold on numerical values.DEBUG
– Special mode for figuring out why two objects expected to be equal are not.BY_CONTRACT
level, then they should also be equal at the
IGNORE_METADATA
level but not necessarily at the STRICT
level.LenientComparable.equals(Object, ComparisonMode)

Enum Constant and Description |
---|
APPROXIMATIVE
Only the attributes relevant to the object functionality are compared, with some tolerance
threshold on numerical values.
|
BY_CONTRACT
Only the attributes published in some contract (typically a GeoAPI interface) need
to be compared.
|
DEBUG
Same as
APPROXIMATIVE , except that an AssertionError is thrown if the two
objects are not equal and assertions are enabled. |
IGNORE_METADATA
Only the attributes relevant to the object functionality are compared.
|
STRICT
All attributes of the compared objects shall be strictly equal.

Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
---|---|
static ComparisonMode |
equalityLevel(Object o1,
Object o2)
If the two given objects are equals according one of the modes enumerated in this class,
then returns that mode.
|
static ComparisonMode |
valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
|
static ComparisonMode[] |
values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in
the order they are declared.

public static final ComparisonMode STRICT
Object.equals(Object)
method, and must be compliant with
the contract documented in that method. In particular, this comparison mode shall be
consistent with Object.hashCode()
and be symmetric (A.equals(B)
implies
B.equals(A)
).
Object.equals(Object)
public static final ComparisonMode BY_CONTRACT
Note that this comparison mode does not guaranteed Object.hashCode()
consistency, neither comparison symmetry (i.e. A.equals(B)
and B.equals(A)
may
return different results if the equals
methods are implemented differently).
public static final ComparisonMode IGNORE_METADATA
BY_CONTRACT

CoordinateReferenceSystem
instances, then only the
properties relevant to the coordinate localization shall be compared. Metadata like the
identifiers
or the domain of validity, which have no impact on the coordinates being calculated, shall be ignored.
If the objects being compared are MathTransform
instances, then two transforms defined in a different way may be considered equivalent.
For example it is possible to define a
Mercator projection
in two different ways, as a "Mercator (1SP)"
or a "Mercator (2SP)"
projection,
each having their own set of parameters. The STRICT
or BY_CONTRACT
modes
shall consider two projections as equal only if their
parameter values are strictly identical, while the IGNORE_METADATA
mode can consider
those objects as equivalent despite difference in the set of parameters, as long as coordinate
transformations still produce the same results.
"Mercator (2SP)"
projection with a
standard parallel value of 60° produces the same results than a "Mercator (1SP)"
projection with a
scale
factor value of 0.5.public static final ComparisonMode APPROXIMATIVE
MathTransform
objects are considered equal
according this mode, then for any given identical source position, the two compared transforms
shall compute at least approximatively the same target position. A small difference is
tolerated between the target coordinates calculated by the two math transforms. How small
is "small" is implementation dependent - the threshold can not be specified in the current
implementation, because of the non-linear nature of map projections.@Debug public static final ComparisonMode DEBUG

, except that an AssertionError
is thrown if the two
objects are not equal and assertions are enabled. The exception message and stack trace help
to locate which attributes are not equal. This mode is typically used in assertions like below:
Note that a comparison inassert Utilities.deepEquals(object1, object2, ComparisonMode.DEBUG);

without
throwing an exception, since not all corner cases are tested. The exception is only
intended to provide more details for some common cases.public static ComparisonMode[] values()
