sortIndex

public static void sortIndex(java.lang.Object[] indicesArray)

This method is used to sort the indices in a table. It also supports sorting of multiple indices. As of now, only String, Byte, Double, Long and Integer data types are supported. This uses bubble sort technique and hence for large tables, the quickSort() method will be useful.

Parameters:

index - The Object array of object arrays to be sorted. Each element in the Object array is an object array by itself which represents the indices of a row.

quickSort()

quickSort

public static void quickSort(java.lang.Object[] a,
                             int lo0,
                             int hi0)
                      throws java.lang.Exception

This is a generic version of C.A.R Hoare's Quick Sort algorithm. This will handle arrays that are already sorted, and arrays with duplicate keys.
If you think of a one dimensional array as going from the lowest index on the left to the highest index on the right then the parameters to this function are lowest index or left and highest index or right. The first time you call this function it will be with the parameters 0, a.length - 1.

Parameters:

a - an integer array

lo0 - left boundary of array partition

hi0 - right boundary of array partition

compare

public static int compare(java.lang.Object[] str1,

This method compares two Object[]. Each Object[] is the array of indices in a single row of a table. As of now, only String, Byte, Double, Long and Integer data types are supported. If any other data type is passed, it will return -1.

Returns:

1 if str1>str2, -1 if str1

isValidIpAddress

This method is used to check whether the given IpAddress is a valid one.

Parameters:

ipString - The IpAddress as a String.

Returns:

true - If valid ipAddress.
