Class KeyFactory

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.cglib.core.KeyFactory

public abstract class KeyFactory
extends Object

Generates classes to handle multi-valued keys, for use in things such as Maps and Sets. Code for equals and hashCode methods follow the the rules laid out in Effective Java by Joshua Bloch.

To generate a KeyFactory, you need to supply an interface which describes the structure of the key. The interface should have a single method named newInstance, which returns an Object. The arguments array can be anything--Objects, primitive values, or single or multi-dimension arrays of either. For example:

     private interface IntStringKey {
         public Object newInstance(int i, String s);
     }
 

Once you have made a KeyFactory, you generate a new key by calling the newInstance method defined by your interface.

     IntStringKey factory = (IntStringKey)KeyFactory.create(IntStringKey.class);
     Object key1 = factory.newInstance(4, "Hello");
     Object key2 = factory.newInstance(4, "World");
 

Note: hashCode equality between two keys key1 and key2 is only guaranteed if key1.equals(key2) and the keys were produced by the same factory.

It is recommended to have pre-processing method that would strip Objects and represent Classes as Strings

Field Detail

CLASS_BY_NAME

public static final org.springframework.cglib.core.Customizer CLASS_BY_NAME

STORE_CLASS_AS_STRING

public static final org.springframework.cglib.core.FieldTypeCustomizer STORE_CLASS_AS_STRING

HASH_ASM_TYPE

public static final org.springframework.cglib.core.HashCodeCustomizer HASH_ASM_TYPE

Type.hashCode() is very expensive as it traverses full descriptor to calculate hash code. This customizer uses Type.getSort() as a hash code.

OBJECT_BY_CLASS

@Deprecated
public static final org.springframework.cglib.core.Customizer OBJECT_BY_CLASS

Deprecated. this customizer might result in unexpected class leak since key object still holds a strong reference to the Object and class. It is recommended to have pre-processing method that would strip Objects and represent Classes as Strings
