ObjectUtils.coalesce
--------------------
Key: LANG-358
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-358
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: LangTwo 1.0
Reporter: Jörg Gottschling
Priority: Minor
I like to see the coalesce-function from SQL implemented in ObjectUtils.
Something like this:
<T> T ObjectUtils.coalesce(T... t)
The first object, which is not null will be returned. I think it's simple.
Perhaps there should be overloading methods with fixed parameter sizes.
Following the jdk this seems to a little faster:
<T> T ObjectUtils.coalesce(T t1, T t2)
<T> T ObjectUtils.coalesce(T t1, T t2, T t3)
...
I would provide it, including tests, if you like.
