Constructor Summary

CaseInsensitiveSortComparator()

Method Summary

boolean	equals(Object obj) Since the comparator used has no actual 'user' data we only want one of them cached so equals is just based on class.
protected Comparable	getComparable(String fieldText)
int	hashCode() See the equals(Object) implementation for explanation.

Method Detail

getComparable

protected Comparable getComparable(String fieldText)

Specified by:

getComparable in class SortComparator

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Since the comparator used has no actual 'user' data we only want one of them cached so equals is just based on class.

This is very important. Otherwise Lucene will cache a new comparator for each search/sort performed. Since each comparator has a field cache for it's respective field you will quickly run out of memory.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

See the equals(Object) implementation for explanation.

hashCode in class Object
