The location is specified using a file provider and path.
The identifier is generated by creating a hash of the class name, root file provider
UUID, and file path. It is then prepended by the phrase "jar/"
.
public | Creates a new instance with a backing path key. |
public boolean | Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. |
public SakerFileProvider | Gets the file provider this location uses to load the JAR. |
public String | Gets the unique identifier for the classpath location. |
public SakerPath | Gets the path to the JAR file in relation with the backing file provider. |
public ClassPathLoader | Creates a new classpath loader which is able to load the specified classpath to a given location. |
public int | hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. |
public String | toString() Returns a string representation of the object. |
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 returntrue
. - It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values
x
andy
,x.equals(y)
should returntrue
if and only ify.equals(x)
returnstrue
. - It is transitive: for any non-null reference values
x
,y
, andz
, ifx.equals(y)
returnstrue
andy.equals(z)
returnstrue
, thenx.equals(z)
should returntrue
. - It is consistent: for any non-null reference values
x
andy
, multiple invocations ofx.equals(y)
consistently returntrue
or consistently returnfalse
, provided no information used inequals
comparisons on the objects is modified. - For any non-null reference value
x
,x.equals(null)
should returnfalse
.
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.
true
if this object is the same as the obj argument; false
otherwise.
The identifiers should be reasonably short. They should be representable in the file system as file names,
meaning they should not contain any special character that a file name cannot contain. They may include the slash
('/'
) character.
It is not required that classpath locations with the same identifier equal, but if they equal, they must return the same identifiers.
Identifiers are usually used by external managers to determine file system storage locations. If they include slashes, usually subdirectories are created accordingly.
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 inequals
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 thehashCode
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(
Object) method, then calling thehashCode
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™ programming language.)
toString
method returns a string that
"textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy
for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.
The toString
method for class Object
returns a string consisting of the name of the class of
which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@
', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation
of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:
getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
