public class ComparatorUtils
extends Object

Field Summary

static Comparator<?>	NULL_HIGH_COMPARABLE a comparator that compares Comparable objects using nullHighCompareTo(Comparable, Object)
static Comparator<?>	NULL_LOW_COMPARABLE a comparator that compares Comparable objects using nullLowCompareTo(Comparable, Object)

Constructor Summary

ComparatorUtils()

Method Summary

static <T> Comparator<T>	nullHighComparable()
static <T> int	nullHighCompareTo(Comparable<T> o1, T o2) null-safe invocation of Comparable.compareTo(Object) placing null at the end of a sorted list (assuming each null is equal)
static <T> Comparator<T>	nullLowComparable()
static <T> int	nullLowCompareTo(Comparable<T> o1, T o2) null-safe invocation of Comparable.compareTo(Object) placing null at the beginning of a sorted list (assuming each null is equal)

NULL_HIGH_COMPARABLE

nullLowCompareTo

public static <T> int nullLowCompareTo(Comparable<T> o1,
                                       T o2)

null-safe invocation of Comparable.compareTo(Object) placing null at the beginning of a sorted list (assuming each null is equal)

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second. Assuming null is less than any object and equal to itself.

public static <T> int nullHighCompareTo(Comparable<T> o1,
                                        T o2)

null-safe invocation of Comparable.compareTo(Object) placing null at the end of a sorted list (assuming each null is equal)

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second. Assuming null is greater than any object and equal to itself.
