Optimize recursive method in searching node ------------------------------------------- Key: GTNPORTAL-1110 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/GTNPORTAL-1110 Project: GateIn Portal Issue Type: Task Reporter: Minh Hoang TO Assignee: Minh Hoang TO Priority: Minor public static PageNode[] searchPageNodesByUri(PageNode node, String uri) { if (node.getUri().equals(uri)) return new PageNode[]{null, node}; if (node.getChildren() == null) return null; List<PageNode> children = node.getChildren(); for (PageNode ele : children) { PageNode[] returnNodes = searchPageNodesByUri(ele, uri); if (returnNodes != null) { if (returnNodes[0] == null) returnNodes[0] = node; return returnNodes; } } return null; } I see that this method (in PageNavigationUtils ) has been used quite oftenly, but it's not optimal in term of algorithm. Searching a node under a tree with a given path ( array of String parsed as argument, or created by splitting the node uri ) is faster. Consider an example where we need to find the node /a/b/c/x/y/z in the navigation N. Assume that in the navigation N there is also the nodes /a/b1/c1/... /a/b2/c2/... /a/b3/c3/... ..... /a/b/c/x/y/z The current naive uri comparing will force us to make the comparision in all nodes in branches /a/b1 , /a/b2,.... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
