Class Preconditions

java.lang.Object

tech.mlsql.common.utils.base.Preconditions

public final class Preconditions
extends Object

Simple static methods to be called at the start of your own methods to verify correct arguments and state. This allows constructs such as

     if (count <= 0) {
       throw new IllegalArgumentException("must be positive: " + count);
     }

to be replaced with the more compact

     checkArgument(count > 0, "must be positive: %s", count);

Note that the sense of the expression is inverted; with Preconditions you declare what you expect to be true, just as you do with an assert or a JUnit assertTrue call.

Warning: only the "%s" specifier is recognized as a placeholder in these messages, not the full range of String.format(String, Object[]) specifiers.

Take care not to confuse precondition checking with other similar types of checks! Precondition exceptions -- including those provided here, but also IndexOutOfBoundsException, NoSuchElementException, UnsupportedOperationException and others -- are used to signal that the calling method has made an error. This tells the caller that it should not have invoked the method when it did, with the arguments it did, or perhaps ever. Postcondition or other invariant failures should not throw these types of exceptions.

Method Detail

checkArgument

public static void checkArgument(boolean expression)

Ensures the truth of an expression involving one or more parameters to the calling method.

Parameters:

expression - a boolean expression

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if expression is false

checkArgument

public static void checkArgument(boolean expression,
                                 @Nullable
                                 Object errorMessage)

Ensures the truth of an expression involving one or more parameters to the calling method.

Parameters:

expression - a boolean expression

errorMessage - the exception message to use if the check fails; will be converted to a string using String.valueOf(Object)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if expression is false

checkArgument

public static void checkArgument(boolean expression,
                                 @Nullable
                                 String errorMessageTemplate,
                                 @Nullable
                                 Object... errorMessageArgs)

Ensures the truth of an expression involving one or more parameters to the calling method.

Parameters:

expression - a boolean expression

errorMessageTemplate - a template for the exception message should the check fail. The message is formed by replacing each %s placeholder in the template with an argument. These are matched by position - the first %s gets errorMessageArgs[0], etc. Unmatched arguments will be appended to the formatted message in square braces. Unmatched placeholders will be left as-is.

errorMessageArgs - the arguments to be substituted into the message template. Arguments are converted to strings using String.valueOf(Object).

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if expression is false

NullPointerException - if the check fails and either errorMessageTemplate or errorMessageArgs is null (don't let this happen)

checkState

public static void checkState(boolean expression)

Ensures the truth of an expression involving the state of the calling instance, but not involving any parameters to the calling method.

Parameters:

expression - a boolean expression

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if expression is false

checkState

Ensures the truth of an expression involving the state of the calling instance, but not involving any parameters to the calling method.

Parameters:
