Dekel created LANG-1435: --------------------------- Summary: ObjectUtils.defaultIfNull for slow default values Key: LANG-1435 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1435 Project: Commons Lang Issue Type: New Feature Reporter: Dekel
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.defaultIfNull(someNullableValue, DbUtil::doGet) instead of ObjectUtils.defaultIfNull(someNullableValue, DbUtil.doGet()) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
