Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Get the name associated with this FieldType.

Returns:

the name associated with this FieldType.

toString

public String toString()

Get a String representation of FieldType.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a String representation of FieldType.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Indicates whether FieldType objects are equal.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation:

• It is reflexive: for any reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
• It is symmetric: for any reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
• It is transitive: for any reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
• It is consistent: for any reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified.
• For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.
