All Implemented Interfaces:

public class DesireChain
extends AbstractChain<Desire>

A sequence of desires. When one desire is resolved, that resolution can be a desire that needs further resolution. These desires are accumulated in a desire chain. Desire chains are immutable; appending to one results in a new desire chain object pointing to the previous chain. They form a reverse singly linked list. The chain maintains O(1) access to both the initial and current desires.

When iterating a desire chain the initial desire is first and the most recent desire is last.

Method Detail

singleton

public static DesireChain singleton(Desire desire)

hasInitialDesire

public static com.google.common.base.Predicate<DesireChain> hasInitialDesire(Desire d)

getCurrentDesire

@Nonnull
public Desire getCurrentDesire()

getInitialDesire

@Nonnull
public Desire getInitialDesire()

getPreviousDesires

@Nonnull
public List<Desire> getPreviousDesires()

Return the list of desires up to, but not including, the current desire.

Returns:

The previous desire chain.

getPreviousDesireChain

@Nonnull
public DesireChain getPreviousDesireChain()

Return the desire chain up to, but not including, the current desire.

Returns:

The previous desire chain.

getKey

public Object getKey()

Get this chain's key. Each chain has a key, a unique object that is created when the chain is created (via singleton(org.grouplens.grapht.reflect.Desire)), and preserved through extend(org.grouplens.grapht.reflect.Desire) operations. It can be used to remember state across invocations of a binding function as a desire chain is built up.

Returns:

The chain's key.

extend

@Nonnull
public DesireChain extend(@Nonnull
                                    Desire d)

Extend this chain with a new desire. The chain is not modified; this method returns a new chain that includes the new desire as its current desire.

Parameters:

d - The new current desire.

Returns:

The new desire chain.
