ObjectUtils

@SuppressWarnings({"deprecation"}) public class org.apache.commons.lang3.ObjectUtils[source]

Operations on Object.

This class tries to handle null input gracefully. An exception will generally not be thrown for a null input. Each method documents its behavior in more detail.

#ThreadSafe#

Constructors

ObjectUtils()

Deprecated. ObjectUtils instances should NOT be constructed in standard programming.

@Deprecated public ObjectUtils()[source]

Deprecated: TODO Make private in 4.0.

ObjectUtils instances should NOT be constructed in standard programming. Instead, the static methods on the class should be used, such as ObjectUtils.defaultIfNull("a","b");.

This constructor is public to permit tools that require a JavaBean instance to operate.

Fields and constants

NULL

Singleton used as a null placeholder where null has another meaning.

public static final ObjectUtils.Null NULL[source]

Singleton used as a null placeholder where null has another meaning.

For example, in a HashMap the java.util.HashMap#get(Object) method returns null if the Map contains null or if there is no matching key. The null placeholder can be used to distinguish between these two cases.

Another example is Hashtable, where null cannot be stored.

This instance is Serializable.

public static boolean CONST(boolean v)[source]

Returns the provided value unchanged. This can prevent javac from inlining a constant field, e.g.,

public final static boolean MAGIC_FLAG = ObjectUtils.CONST(true);
