Method Summary | |
---|---|
int | compare(Object o1, Object o2)
Compares its two arguments for order. |
boolean | contains(String s1, String s2)
Test whether one string contains another, according to the rules
of the XPath contains() function
|
boolean | endsWith(String s1, String s2)
Test whether one string ends with another, according to the rules
of the XPath ends-with() function
|
boolean | startsWith(String s1, String s2)
Test whether one string starts with another, according to the rules
of the XPath starts-with() function
|
String | substringAfter(String s1, String s2)
Return the part of a string after a given substring, according to the rules
of the XPath substring-after() function
|
String | substringBefore(String s1, String s2)
Return the part of a string before a given substring, according to the rules
of the XPath substring-before() function
|
The implementor must ensure that sgn(compare(x, y)) == -sgn(compare(y, x)) for all x and y. (This implies that compare(x, y) must throw an exception if and only if compare(y, x) throws an exception.)
The implementor must also ensure that the relation is transitive: ((compare(x, y)>0) && (compare(y, z)>0)) implies compare(x, z)>0.
Finally, the implementer must ensure that compare(x, y)==0 implies that sgn(compare(x, z))==sgn(compare(y, z)) for all z.
It is generally the case, but not strictly required that (compare(x, y)==0) == (x.equals(y)). Generally speaking, any comparator that violates this condition should clearly indicate this fact. The recommended language is "Note: this comparator imposes orderings that are inconsistent with equals."
Parameters: o1 the first object to be compared. o2 the second object to be compared.
Returns: a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
Throws: ClassCastException if the arguments' types prevent them from being compared by this Comparator.
Parameters: s1 the containing string s2 the contained string
Returns: true iff s1 contains s2
Parameters: s1 the containing string s2 the contained string
Returns: true iff s1 ends with s2
Parameters: s1 the containing string s2 the contained string
Returns: true iff s1 starts with s2
Parameters: s1 the containing string s2 the contained string
Returns: the part of s1 that follows the first occurrence of s2
Parameters: s1 the containing string s2 the contained string
Returns: the part of s1 that precedes the first occurrence of s2
