> I like to see the coalesce-function from SQL implemented in ObjectUtils. =
Something like this:
> <T> T ObjectUtils.coalesce(T... t)
> The first object, which is not null will be returned. This would replace =
all the defaultValue/defaultString/... methods, with al flexibler and short=
er method. It will also reuse an existing name.
> I think it's simple. Perhaps there should be overloading methods with fix=
ed parameter sizes. Following the jdk this seems to a little faster:
> <T> T ObjectUtils.coalesce(T t1, T t2)
> <T> T ObjectUtils.coalesce(T t1, T t2, T t3)
> ...
> I would provide it, including tests, if you like.
