Class Sequence

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.commons.functor.core.composite.Sequence

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Runnable, Functor, NullaryFunctor, Procedure

public class Sequence
extends Object
implements Procedure, Serializable

A Procedure that runs an ordered sequence of Procedures. When the sequence is empty, this procedure is does nothing.

Note that although this class implements Serializable, a given instance will only be truly Serializable if all the underlying functors are. Attempts to serialize an instance whose delegates are not all Serializable will result in an exception.

Constructor Detail

Sequence

public Sequence()

Create a new Sequence.

Sequence

public Sequence(Procedure... procedures)

Create a new Sequence instance.

Parameters:

procedures - to run sequentially

Sequence

public Sequence(Iterable<Procedure> procedures)

Create a new Sequence instance.

Parameters:

procedures - to run sequentially

Method Detail

then

public final Sequence then(Procedure p)

Fluently add a Procedure.

Parameters:

p - Procedure to add

Returns:

this

run

public final void run()

Execute this procedure.

Specified by:

run in interface Runnable

Specified by:

run in interface Procedure

equals

public final boolean equals(Object that)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this functor. This method must adhere to general Object.equals contract. Additionally, this method can return true only if the specified Object implements the same functor interface and is known to produce the same results and/or side-effects for the same arguments (if any).

While implementators are strongly encouraged to override the default Object implementation of this method, note that the default Object implementation does in fact adhere to the functor equals contract.

Specified by:

equals in interface Functor

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

that - the object to compare this functor to

Returns:

true iff the given object implements this functor interface, and is known to produce the same results and/or side-effects for the same arguments (if any).

Functor.hashCode()

equals

public boolean equals(Sequence that)

Learn whether a given Sequence is equal to this.

Parameters:

that - Sequence to test

Returns:

boolean

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code for this functor adhering to the general Object.hashCode contract. Implementators are strongly encouraged but not strictly required to override the default Object implementation of this method.

Specified by:

hashCode in interface Functor

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code for this functor

Functor.equals(java.lang.Object)

toString

public String toString()

Returns a human readable description of this functor. Implementators are strongly encouraged but not strictly required to override the default Object implementation of this method.

Specified by:

toString in interface Functor

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a human readable description of this functor
