public class PredicatedSortedBag
extends PredicatedBag
implements SortedBag

Decorates another SortedBag to validate that additions match a specified predicate.

This bag exists to provide validation for the decorated bag. It is normally created to decorate an empty bag. If an object cannot be added to the bag, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

One usage would be to ensure that no null entries are added to the bag.

SortedBag bag = PredicatedSortedBag.decorate(new TreeBag(), NotNullPredicate.INSTANCE);

This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

Since:

Method Detail

decorate

public static SortedBag decorate(SortedBag bag,
                                 Predicate predicate)

Factory method to create a predicated (validating) bag.

If there are any elements already in the bag being decorated, they are validated.

Parameters:

bag - the bag to decorate, must not be null

predicate - the predicate to use for validation, must not be null

Returns:

a new predicated SortedBag

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if bag or predicate is null

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the bag contains invalid elements

first

public java.lang.Object first()

Description copied from interface: SortedBag

Returns the first (lowest) member.

Specified by:

first in interface SortedBag

Returns:

the first element in the sorted bag

last

public java.lang.Object last()

Description copied from interface: SortedBag

Returns the last (highest) member.

Specified by:

last in interface SortedBag

Returns:

the last element in the sorted bag

comparator

public java.util.Comparator comparator()

Description copied from interface: SortedBag

Returns the comparator associated with this sorted set, or null if it uses its elements' natural ordering.

Specified by:

comparator in interface SortedBag

Returns:

the comparator in use, or null if natural ordering
