java.lang.Objectcom.coyotegulch.jisp.OrderedObject
OrderedObject
defines an characteristics of an object to be used as a key * in an ObjectIndex
. Since Java lacks true generic types, it is up to * the programmer to ensure that all KeyObject
s have the same concrete type * for a given ObjectIndex
. Each ObjectIndex
supports a single * concrete KeyObject
type. *
* Concrete KeyObject
classes must always produce a
ObjectIndex
