Filter duplicates method

[Stephen Rufle-2]

I have a query that I think require that I join in such a way that the
resultset has multiple rows with the same id value.

I would like to do something similar to
org.ofbiz.entity.util.EntityUtil.filterByAnd(List<T>, Map<String, ?
extends Object>)

but maybe called
EntityUtil.filterDuplicates(List<T> values, Map<String, ? extends
Object> fields)

Does this type of functionality already exist in ofbiz?

Hi Stephen,

Till now I used to filter the list by checking the value contains in the
list.
It is not in OFBiz, If done should be good utility method.

Hi Stephen,

Depending on what you plan on doing with the results you may find the  
getFieldListFromEntityList(List<GenericValue>, String, boolean) method  
useful.

I looked at
org.ofbiz.entity.util.EntityUtil.getFieldListFromEntityList(List<GenericValue>,
String, boolean)

I think I used the concept, but am unsure how to generalize so I could
pass in a Map fields to check uniqueness by.
        List<GenericValue> filteredList = FastList.newInstance();
        Set distinctSet = FastSet.newInstance();
        String filterId = null;
        for (GenericValue gv : listWithDuplicates)
        {
            filterId = gv.getString("someId");
            if (!distinctSet.contains(filterId))
            {
                distinctSet.add(filterId);
                filteredList.add(gv);
            }
        }
        listWithDuplicates.clear();
        listWithDuplicates.addAll(filteredList);
