  • Constructor Details

    • ObjectMessage

      public ObjectMessage(T content)
      Builds a message with the specified content
      Parameters:
      content -

  • Method Details

    • getContent

      public T getContent()
      Gets the content of this message
      Returns:
      the object of type T contained in the message

    • max

      public static <T extends Object & Comparable<? super T>, M extends ObjectMessage<T>> M max(Collection<M> messageCollection)
      Returns the message containing the maximum element of the given collection, according to the natural ordering of the elements contained in the message. All elements in the messages must implement the Comparable interface. Furthermore, all elements must be mutually comparable (that is, e1.compareTo(e2) must not throw a ClassCastException for any elements e1 and e2 in the collection).

      This method iterates over the entire collection, hence it requires time proportional to the size of the collection.

      Parameters:
      messageCollection - the collection of messages whose maximum element is to be determined.
      Returns:
      the message containing the maximum element.
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - if the content of the messages are not mutually comparable.
      NoSuchElementException - if the collection is empty.

    • min

      public static <T extends Object & Comparable<? super T>, M extends ObjectMessage<T>> M min(Collection<M> messageCollection)
      Returns the message containing the minimum element of the given collection, according to the natural ordering of the elements contained in the message. All elements in the messages must implement the Comparable interface. Furthermore, all elements must be mutually comparable (that is, e1.compareTo(e2) must not throw a ClassCastException for any elements e1 and e2 in the collection).

      This method iterates over the entire collection, hence it requires time proportional to the size of the collection.

      Parameters:
      messageCollection - the collection of messages whose maximum element is to be determined.
      Returns:
      the message containing the minimum element.
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - if the content of the messages are not mutually comparable.
      NoSuchElementException - if the collection is empty.

    • sort

      public static <T extends Object & Comparable<? super T>, M extends ObjectMessage<T>> void sort(List<M> list)
      Sorts the specified list of messages into ascending order, according to the natural ordering of the content of each message. All elements contained in the messages must implement the Comparable interface. Furthermore, all these elements must be mutually comparable (that is, e1.compareTo(e2) must not throw a ClassCastException for any elements e1 and e2 in the list).

      This sort is guaranteed to be stable: equal elements will not be reordered as a result of the sort.

      The specified list must be modifiable, but need not be resizable.

      Parameters:
      list - the list to be sorted.
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - if the list contains elements that are not mutually comparable (for example, strings and integers).
      UnsupportedOperationException - if the specified list's list-iterator does not support the set operation.
      IllegalArgumentException - (optional) if the implementation detects that the natural ordering of the list elements is found to violate the Comparable contract

      Overrides:
