Method Detail

valueOf

public static EnzymeClass valueOf(EnzymeCommissionNumber ec,
                                  String name,
                                  String description,
                                  List<EnzymeSubclass> subclasses)

Returns an EnzymeClass instance.

Parameters:

ec - The class' EC.

name - The name of the class.

description - The description of the class.

subclasses - The list of subclasses (see EnzymeSubclass).

Throws:

NullPointerException - if any parameter is null.

IllegalArgumentException - if name or the list of subclasses is empty.

compareTo

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - Object to be compared to this one.

Returns:

true if the objects are equal.

hashCode

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

getEc

public EnzymeCommissionNumber getEc()

Returns the hash code of this object.

Returns:

the hash code of this object.

getName
