Class SeriesComparator

java.lang.Object
  com.martiansoftware.trivialpersist.SeriesComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator

public class SeriesComparator

extends Object

implements Comparator

Provides a means to wrap multiple Comparators into a single Comparator. When comparing, each wrapped Comparator is used to perform a comparison in the order in which it was added to the SeriesComparator, until one of the wrapped Comparators returns a nonzero value. If all comparators return zero, the Objects' hashcodes are compared.
