Field Detail

hashCode

protected transient int hashCode
The hash code for this object. This value is computed lazily, and marked as invalid when one of the values on which it is based changes. This values is HASH_CODE_NOT_COMPUTED iff the hash code has not yet been computed.


triggers

protected final Trigger[] triggers
The list of trigger in this sequence. This value is never null, and never contains null elements.

Constructor Detail

TriggerSequence

public TriggerSequence(Trigger[] triggers)
Constructs a new instance of TriggerSequence.

Parameters:
triggers - The triggers contained within this sequence; must not be null or contain null elements. May be empty.
Method Detail

endsWith

public final boolean endsWith(TriggerSequence triggerSequence,
                              boolean equals)
Returns whether or not this key sequence ends with the given key sequence.

Parameters:
triggerSequence - a trigger sequence. Must not be null.
equals - whether or not an identical trigger sequence should be considered as a possible match.
Returns:
true, iff the given trigger sequence ends with this trigger sequence.

equals

public final boolean equals(Object object)

format

public abstract String format()
Formats this trigger sequence into the current default look.

Returns:
A string representation for this trigger sequence using the default look; never null.

getPrefixes

public abstract TriggerSequence[] getPrefixes()

Returns a list of prefixes for the current sequence. A prefix is any leading subsequence in a TriggerSequence. A prefix is also an instance of TriggerSequence.

For example, consider a trigger sequence that consists of four triggers: A, B, C and D. The prefixes would be "", "A", "A B", and "A B C". The list of prefixes must always be the same as the size of the trigger list.

Returns:
The array of possible prefixes for this sequence. This array must not be null, but may be empty. It must only contains instances of TriggerSequence.

getTriggers

public final Trigger[] getTriggers()
Returns the list of triggers.

Returns:
The triggers; never null and guaranteed to only contain instances of Trigger.

hashCode

public final int hashCode()

isEmpty

public final boolean isEmpty()
Returns whether or not this trigger sequence is empty.

Returns:
true, iff the trigger sequence is empty.

startsWith

public final boolean startsWith(TriggerSequence triggerSequence,
                                boolean equals)
Returns whether or not this trigger sequence starts with the given trigger sequence.

Parameters:
triggerSequence - a trigger sequence. Must not be null.
equals - whether or not an identical trigger sequence should be considered as a possible match.
Returns:
true, iff the given trigger sequence starts with this key sequence.
