Class DiffNode

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.wicket.util.diff.myers.PathNode
      org.apache.wicket.util.diff.myers.DiffNode

public final class DiffNode
extends PathNode

A diffnode in a diffpath.

A DiffNode and its previous node mark a delta between two input sequences, that is, two differing subsequences between (possibly zero length) matching sequences. DiffNodes and Snakes allow for compression of diffpaths, as each snake is represented by a single Snake node and each contiguous series of insertions and deletions is represented by a single DiffNodes.

Constructor Detail

DiffNode

public DiffNode(int i,
                int j,
                PathNode prev)

Constructs a DiffNode.

DiffNodes are compressed. That means that the path pointed to by the prev parameter will be followed using PathNode.previousSnake() until a non-diff node is found.

Parameters:

i - the position in the original sequence

j - the position in the revised sequence

prev - the previous node in the path.

Method Detail

isSnake

public boolean isSnake()

Is this node a Snake node?

Specified by:

isSnake in class PathNode

Returns:

false, always
