Class ComparableComparator<T extends java.lang.Comparable<? super T>>

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.jga.util.ComparableComparator<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.util.Comparator<T>

public class ComparableComparator<T extends java.lang.Comparable<? super T>>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Comparator<T>, java.io.Serializable

Comparator used for objects that extend Comparable. It delegates to the object's Comparable interface of the object whose class is "least" derived; ie, if the first object's class is a subclass of the second object's class, then the second object's comparable interface is used; otherwise the first object's comparable interface is used.
