groupping list of objects based on properties in java

Question

I have POJO List<TravelRequestDTO> and I want to group and create filtered List<TravelRequestDTO> if leavingFrom,goingTo,onwarDate,returnDate are same add passenger to same object

Example :

Passanger,     onWard,      return,      leavingFrom,     goingTo

  A,            1-2-20,      3-2-20,        BLR,            PUNE

  B,            1-2-20 ,     3-2-20,        BLR,            PUNE

final List<TravelRequestDTO> should contain :

Passanger,     onWard,      return,      leavingFrom,     goingTo

  A,B          1-2-20      3-2-20        BLR            PUNE

public class TravelRequestDTO {

    private List<Pax> passangers; 
    private String leavingFrom;
    private String goingTo;
    private String onwarDate;
    private String onwardTime;
    private String returnDate;
    private String returnTime;
    private SegmentTypeEnum segmentType;
    private TravelModeEnum travelMode;
    private String purposeOfVisit;
     }


    public class Pax{

    private String name;
    private String age;
    private String mobile;
    }

How do you get Pax object, where does DTO stores information of First passenger — Jatish, Feb 04 '20 at 05:02
I guess former `List` and later `List` names must be different. — Vishwa Ratna, Feb 04 '20 at 07:58

you can use the below code to get a List of TravelRequestDTO objects based on properties.

Function<TravelRequestDTO, List<Object>> compositeKey = travelRecord ->
    Arrays.<Object>asList(travelRecord.getOnWard(),travelRecord.getReturn(),travelRecord.getLeavingFrom(),travelRecord.getGoingTo());

Map<Object, List<TravelRequestDTO>> map =
people.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(compositeKey, Collectors.toList()));

If you need older java version, than you can do like this:

Map<Object, List<TravelRequestDTO>> hashMap = new HashMap<Object, List<TravelRequestDTO>>();
for (TravelRequestDTO value: initList) {
    List<Object> key = Arrays.asList(value.getOnWard(),value.getReturn(),value.getLeavingFrom(),value.getGoingTo());
    if (!hashMap.containsKey(key)) {
        List<TravelRequestDTO> list = new ArrayList<TravelRequestDTO>();
        list.add(value);
        hashMap.put(key, list);
    } else {
        hashMap.get(key).add(value);
    }
}

Check this question for other solution.

It is only half way to what you want. After that you have to extract final result from this map. Or you can do it in one step:

Map<Object, TravelRequestDTO> hashMap = new HashMap<Object, TravelRequestDTO>();
for (TravelRequestDTO value: initList) {
    List<Object> key = Arrays.asList(value.getOnWard(),value.getReturn(),value.getLeavingFrom(),value.getGoingTo());
    if (!hashMap.containsKey(key)) {
        TravelRequestDTO item = value; // pass first value or copy it to new
        hashMap.put(key, item);
    } else {
        hashMap.get(key).getPassangers().addAll(value.getPassangers());
    }
}
List<TravelRequestDTO> result = new ArrayList<>(hashMap.values());
