Field Detail

c

public final char c

The character associated with this event.

Constructor Detail

CharEvent

public CharEvent(char c)

Creates a new character event.

Parameters:

c - The character to wrap.

Method Detail

hashCode

public int hashCode()

equals

public boolean equals(DiffXEvent e)

Indicates whether the specified event is equal to this event.

Specified by:

equals in interface DiffXEvent

Parameters:

e - The event to compare it with thsi one.

Returns:

true if considered equals; false otherwise.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

toXML

public void toXML(XMLWriter xml)
           throws IOException

Description copied from interface: XMLWritable

Writes the XML representation of the implementing instance using the specified XMLWriter.

Parameters:

xml - The XMLWriter to use.

Throws:

IOException - IF an I/O exception occurs whilst writing.

toXML

public StringBuffer toXML(StringBuffer xml)
                   throws NullPointerException

Description copied from interface: XMLFormattable

Appends the XML representation of the object of the implementing class.

Implementations must ensure that the returned string buffer is the same object as the specified string buffer.

Parameters:

xml - The string buffer to which the XML representation is appended to.

Returns:

The modified string buffer.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the specified character sequence is null.

equals

public final boolean equals(Object o)

Invokes the DiffXEvent.equals(DiffXEvent) method if the specified object if not null and is an instance of DiffXEvent.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - The object to compare.

Returns:

true if the specified object is equal; false otherwise.

toXML

public String toXML()

Description copied from interface: XMLFormattable

Returns a xml representation of the object of the implementing class.

Most implementation should use the following code to ensure consistent data with the other toXML method:

return this.toXML(new StringBuffer()).toString();

Specified by:

toXML in interface XMLFormattable

Returns:

a XML representation of the object of the implementing class.

getWeight

public int getWeight()

Description copied from interface: DiffXEvent

Returns the weight of this event.

The default weight should be 1.

Specified by:

getWeight in interface DiffXEvent

Returns:

The weight of this event.

setWeight

public void setWeight(int weight)

Description copied from interface: DiffXEvent

Sets the weight of this event.

This method is intended for use by algorithms, optimisers and loaders in order to adjust the importance of an event.

Specified by:

setWeight in interface DiffXEvent

Parameters:

weight - The weight of this event.
