Method Detail

isModified

boolean isModified()

Gets whether this object's internal state has been modified since the last request to this method.

Implementations must be aggressive about returning true if they are uncertain about whether they have been modified; false should only be returned if the implementing object is certain its internal state has not been modified.

Returns:

true if the state has been modified or the implementing object does not know; false otherwise.
