.public Object clone(CopyContext context)
This method should be implemented to call a copy constructor on the class of the
object being cloned. The copy constructor should take the CopyContext
as a parameter
in addition to the existing instance to copy. The copy constructor should first call
CopyContext.addObjectMapping(T, T)
to identify the newly constructed instance
as a copy of the existing instance. It should then copy all fields, using
CopyContext.updateReference(T)
to copy any reference fields.
A typical implementation of ICloneWithContext
:
public static class MyClass implements ICloneWithContext {
public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
context.addObjectMapping(existingInstance, this);
someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
}
@Override
public final Object clone(CopyContext context) {
return new MyClass(this, context);
}
private Object someReference;
}
In general, all fields that are reference types should be copied with a call to
CopyContext.updateReference(T)
. There are a couple of exceptions:
If one of these exceptions applies, the CopyContext
should be given an opportunity
to update the reference before the reference is copied explicitly. Use
CopyContext.updateReference(T)
to update the reference. If CopyContext.updateReference(T)
returns
the original object, indicating that the context does not have a replacement registered,
then copy the object manually by invoking a Clone method, a copy constructor, or by manually
constructing a new instance and copying the values.
alwaysCopy = context.updateReference(existingInstance.alwaysCopy);
if (existingInstance.alwaysCopy != null && alwaysCopy == existingInstance.alwaysCopy) {
alwaysCopy = (AlwaysCopy) existingInstance.alwaysCopy.clone(context);
}
If you are implementing an evaluator (a class that implements IEvaluator
), the
IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext)
method shares some responsibilities with the
copy context constructor. Code duplication can be avoided by doing the following:
CopyContext.updateReference(T)
. You should still call CopyContext.updateReference(T)
on any references to
non-evaluators.
IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext)
as the last line in the constructor and pass it the
same CopyContext
passed to the constructor.
IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext)
as normal. See the reference documentation for
IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext)
for more information on implementing that method.
public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
super(existingInstance, context);
someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
evaluatorReference = existingInstance.evaluatorReference;
updateEvaluatorReferences(context);
}
@Override
public void updateEvaluatorReferences(CopyContext context) {
evaluatorReference = context.updateReference(evaluatorReference);
}
@Override
public Object clone(CopyContext context) {
return new MyClass(this, context);
}
private Object someReference;
private IEvaluator evaluatorReference;
clone
in interface ICloneWithContext
context
- The context to use to perform the copy.public final boolean isSameDefinition(Object other)
This method is very similar to Object.equals(Object)
except that it explicitly considers
the "definitions" of the two objects for objects that do not typically act like values. The definition of
an object typically includes all of the fields of the object.
isSameDefinition
in interface IEquatableDefinition
other
- The other instance to compare to this one.true
if this object has the same definition as the specified one.
false
if the other object is null
, a different type
than this one, or if this object and the specified one have different definitions.protected boolean checkForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObjectCollection<T> other)
true
if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check
all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary
to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method,
you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false
for all derived-class instances.
Derived classes should check the type of other
to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object)
.other
- The other instance to compare to this one.true
if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false
.public final int getDefinitionHashCode()
This method is very similar to Object.hashCode()
except that it explicitly includes
the "definition" of the object even if the object does not typically act like a value. The definition of
an object typically includes all of the fields of the object. The value returned by this method should
NOT change. This means that two objects for which DefinitionalObjectCollection.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object)
returns true
will not necessarily have the same hash code if one or the other was changed after the hash code was first
obtained.

Derived classes which contain additional aggregated objects MUST override this method, call the base
