[jgrapht-users] getVertex(Object o)

[Claudio M. <cla...@gm...>]

Hello to the list members.

I write for a topic that looks kind of hot in here: the
Graph.getVertex() method.
I'm using a SimpleDirectedWeightedGraph ecl  to represent words with
my own WordNode class and their relationships (with a
DefaultWeightedEdge). Each graph vertex (a word for me) has a payload
for some statistics (i.e. the number of occurences in the
document/corpus).

While parsing the document ( or while the application is running ) i
want to get access to the node to read its data. I've overidden the
.equals() for my WordNode class, so that it actually checks the
WordNode.getWord() - String, so the idea is to do a
graph.getVertex(new WordNode("whatever")).getOccurences()   without
the need to hold all the vertexes in another datastructure (like a
HashMap), or without surfing the expensive graph.vertexSet().
AFAIK, this is not possible in jgrapht. I don't actually want the
getVertex() to work for reference-equality, but for my value-equality
through the equals() "interface".

Any suggestions?

TIA
