Strange-looking code in EMF [message #422938] Fri, 19 September 2008 11:30 Go to next message

Hi,

just by chance I came over this code:

if (eType.getInstanceClassName() == "java.util.Map$Entry")
[EStoreEObjectImpl:694]

I haven't worked with maps in EMF, but this looks strongly suspicious?

shouldn't == be .equals() ?!

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi, Stefan,

This works because EClassifiers intern() their instance-class names, and
Java ensures that string constants are interned, so this is actually
more efficient than .equals() and it's correct.

Cheers,

Christian

protected void basicSetInstanceClassName(String value)
{
if (instanceClassName == null && generatedInstanceClassName != null)
{
instanceClassName = generatedInstanceClassName;
generatedInstanceClassName = null;
}
setInstanceClassNameGen(value == null ? null : value.intern());
if (instanceClass != null)
{
setInstanceClassGen(null);
}
}
