Hi,
I updated from Commons Lang 2.1 to Commons Lang 2.3 and got some issues with
the changed compareTo() method of Enum.
Here is my simplified Enum:
public class ItemStatus extends Enum {
public static final ItemStatus CANCEL = new ItemStatus("CANCEL");
public static final ItemStatus SHIPPED = new ItemStatus("SHIPPED");
public static final ItemStatus MOVED = new ItemStatus("MOVED");
/** Contains each status. */
private static Set statuses;
// -------------------------------------------------------- Constructors
protected ItemStatus(String name) {
super(name);
System.out.println(this.getClass().getName());
buildStatusSet();
}
// -------------------------------------------------------- Static Methods
/**
* Returns the item status enumeration object for the given status name.
*
* @param itemStatus
* name of the item status
* @return the enumeration object, or <code>null</code> if it does not
* exist
*/
public static ItemStatus valueOf(String itemStatus) {
return (ItemStatus) getEnum(ItemStatus.class, itemStatus);
}
// -------------------------------------------------------- Public Methods
/**
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
*/
// @Override
public final Class getEnumClass() {
return ItemStatus.class;
}
/**
* Gets all defined ItemStatus.
*
* @return the enum object List
* @see org.apache.commons.lang.enums.Enum#getEnumList(Class)
*/
public static List getEnumList() {
return getEnumList(ItemStatus.class);
}
// -------------------------------------------------------- Private
Methods
/**
* Adds the status name to a Set of status names.
*/
private void buildStatusSet() {
if (statuses == null) {
statuses = new TreeSet();
}
statuses.add(this);
}
}
And I got the ClassCastExcetion in the private "buildStatusSet()-Method if I
try to add the status to the TreeSet. The TreeSet calls the compareTo-Method of
the Enum. In Commons Lang 2.2 this method was changed with an additional
comparison of the classes.
In my constructor I added a System.out.println of the instantiated classes and
got the following output:
com.myapp.common.model.order.ItemStatus$1
com.myapp.common.model.order.ItemStatus$2
com.myapp.common.model.order.ItemStatus$3
The compareTo-Method now tries to compare ItemStatus$1 with ItemStatus$2 and
says to me, that my ItemStatus-Enums are different classes.
I saw in JIRA there are some other issues in ValuedEnum.compareTo(). Is there a
bug in the Enum.compareTo() implementation which got changed in Lang 2.2?
Thanks in advance for any help or comment on this issue.
Regards,
Sam
