[jira] Commented: (LANG-340) performance problem with EqualsBuilder.append()

["Robert Scholte (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-340?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12609605#action_12609605 ] 

Robert Scholte commented on LANG-340:
-------------------------------------

I think I have to agree with Henri. And there's an important difference between both code-samples:
The EqualsBuilder-implementation first checks the label, followed by the name, while the self-written one first checks the name.

Normally names would be more unique then labels, so I'm not really surprised the second implementation is faster.

> We are using EqualsBuilder for construction of equals() method in our javabeans.
> For example we have a class:
> public class SimpleRecord{
> String name;
> String label;
> ...
>     public boolean equals(Object object) {
>         return new EqualsBuilder().append(this.label, rhs.label).append(
>                 this.getName(), rhs.getName()).isEquals();
>     }
> So far so good.
> But one of our applications uses extensively Stack to push/pop SimpleRecord bean. And it was working very slow.
> After profiling of application we saw that most of the time JVM spent in equals() method of SimpleRecord. (it is called during peek() which is calling remove() from Stack)
> If we replace EqualsBuilder by following code our application worked 3 times faster ! Could you make some optimizations ?
>     	if (!(object instanceof SimpleRecord)) {
>             return false;
>         }
>         SimpleRecord rhs = (SimpleRecord) object;
>         if (this.getName() == null && rhs.getName() != null) {
>         	return false;
>         } else 
>         if (rhs.getName() == null && this.getName() != null) {
>         	return false;
>         } else
>         if (this.label == null && rhs.label != null) {
>         	return false;
>         } else
>         if (rhs.label == null && this.label != null) {
>         	return false;
>         } else
>         if (this.label == null && rhs.label == null) {
>         	return this.getName().equals(rhs.getName()); 
>         } else
>         
>         return this.getName().equals(rhs.getName()) && this.label.equals(rhs.label);
