ej.mwt.stylesheet.selector.combinator.Combinator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Selector

Direct Known Subclasses:

AdjacentSiblingCombinator, AndCombinator, ChildCombinator, DescendantCombinator, GeneralSiblingCombinator

public abstract class Combinator
extends Object
implements Selector

A combinator is a selector that aggregates two selectors.

The specificity of a combinator is the sum of the specificities of its selectors.

Constructor Detail

Combinator

public Combinator(Selector firstSelector,
                  Selector secondSelector)

Creates a combinator.

Parameters:

firstSelector - the first selector.

secondSelector - the second selector.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(@Nullable
                      Object obj)

Description copied from class: Object

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

• It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
• It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
• It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
• It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
• For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

The equals method for class Object implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any non-null reference values x and y, this method returns true if and only if x and y refer to the same object (x == y has the value true).

Note that it is generally necessary to override the hashCode method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the general contract for the hashCode method, which states that equal objects must have equal hash codes.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

getFirstSelector

public Selector getFirstSelector()

Returns the first selector of this combinator.

Returns:

the first selector.

getSecondSelector

public Selector getSecondSelector()

Returns the second selector of this combinator.

Returns:

the second selector.

getSpecificity

public int getSpecificity()

Description copied from interface: Selector

Returns the specificity of this selector.

The specificity allows to determine in which order the rules of a stylesheet should be applied.

A specificity is composed of four numbers (defined by CSS2 specification):

• count 1 if the declaration is from is a 'style' attribute rather than a rule with a selector, 0 otherwise (= a)
• count the number of ID attributes in the selector (= b)
• count the number of other attributes and pseudo-classes in the selector (= c)
• count the number of widget names and pseudo-widgets in the selector (= d)

Concatenating the four numbers a-b-c-d (in a number system with a large base) gives the specificity. In this implementation, each number is stored on a byte in an integer. SelectorHelper provides a method to compute the specificity of a selector.

Specified by:

getSpecificity in interface Selector

Returns:

the specificity of this selector.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: Object

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

• Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
• If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
• It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the Object.equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the Java^TM programming language.)

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.
