      Work Description: MarkDacek commented on issue #408: LANG-1435: Implemented defaultIfNull method that uses a supplier for default value
URL: https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/pull/408#issuecomment-468522634
 
 
   I'm curious whether this is worthwhile given the existence of ObjectUtils.firstNonNull. Is the supplier that much of a necessity?
   
   The only plus I see is that it wouldn't be executed if the default isn't null. Is that a major performance increase for a significant number of use-cases?

> Currently, if the default value in defaultIfNull is computationally slow (for example, it requires a database call, or complex calculations), it's not worth using the util method. This feature is to implement a method that would only perform this computationally slow action if the object value is actually null. This can be done using a Supplier.
> In short, you'd call ObjectUtils.getDefaultIfNull(someNullableValue, DbUtil::doGet) instead of ObjectUtils.defaultIfNull(someNullableValue, DbUtil.doGet())
