Class FormElementPathPart

java.lang.Object

de.ipcon.form.FormElementPathPart

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable

public class FormElementPathPart
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable

Represents a part of a form element path, used for navigating and identifying form elements.

Each `FormElementPathPart` encapsulates a `FormContextI` and the `BO` (Business Object) associated with it. It provides methods for accessing these components and implements the `Comparable` interface to enable sorting and comparison of path parts based on their BO Ids and form context identity hash codes.

Constructor Detail

FormElementPathPart

public FormElementPathPart(FormContextI _ftx)

Constructs a `FormElementPathPart` with the given `FormContextI`.

Parameters:

_ftx - The form context to associate with this path part.

Method Detail

getFtx

public FormContextI getFtx()

Returns the form context associated with this path part.

Returns:

The `FormContextI` instance.

getBO

public BO getBO()

Returns the business object associated with this path part.

Returns:

The `BO` instance.

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object other)

Compares this `FormElementPathPart` to another object for ordering.

The comparison is based on the following criteria:

1. If the BOs are different, compare their Ids using `compareTo`.
2. If the BOs are the same, compare the identity hash codes of the `FormContextI` instances.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable

Parameters:

other - The object to be compared.

Returns:

A negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - If the specified object's type prevents it from being compared to this object.
