public class BasicComparator<T extends Storable>
extends BasicStorable.CdateComparator<T>

Basic comparator class providing advanced contextual informations and default comparison of Storable using their cdate.

The following fields are available to your implementation :

• Channel channel : the Channel
• JcmsContext jcmsContext : the current JcmsContext if available
• String language : current user language or default channel language.
• Locale locale : current user Locale or default channel Locale.
• Map contextMap : a Map containing contextual information received through ComparatorManager.getComparator(Class, String, boolean, Map).

Example :

 // Sorts Article by alphabetical order of their "intro" field, using current language.
 // Declare this comparator using the following property : 
 // comparator.Article.articleintro: com.example.jcms.comparator.MyArticleIntroComparator
 public class MyArticleIntroComparator extends BasicComparator<Article> {
 
   public int compare(Article p1, Article p2) {
     // object nullity check
     if (p1 == null) {
       return (p2 == null) ? 0 : -1;
     }
     if (p2 == null) {
      return 1;
     }

     // Retrieve Article introduction
     String t1 = p1.getIntro(language);
     String t2 = p2.getIntro(language);
     if (t1 == null) {
      return (t2 == null) ? 0 : -1;
     }
     if (t2 == null) {
       return 1;
     }

     t1 = Util.unaccentuate(t1);
     t2 = Util.unaccentuate(t2);

     int res = t1.compareToIgnoreCase(t2);
     if (res != 0) {
       return res;
     }
     return super.compare(p1, p2);
   }
 }
