de.tsl2.nano.structure

Class Cover<T extends Serializable & Comparable<? super T>,D extends Comparable<? super D>>

java.lang.Object

de.tsl2.nano.structure.Cover<T,D>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Comparable<Object>

public class Cover<T extends Serializable & Comparable<? super T>,D extends Comparable<? super D>>
extends Object
implements Comparable<Object>, Serializable, Cloneable

Technical base definition to enhance a content through this cover. Extending properties are defined by the descriptor. May be used as base for Wrappers, Pointers or Connections.

Implementing all java-standard interfaces like Serializable, Comparable, Cloneable and the methods Object.hashCode(), Object.equals(Object), you may use this class to extend your class with some properties (defined by the descriptor).

An example use case would be to add a weight to your class, using that weight to be sorted and compared.

TODO: create interfaces for 'Wrapper+Source' or 'Pointer+Destination', 'Delegator+Source', 'Extender+Base', 'Hull+Core', 'Cover+Core'
