public class CursorableLinkedList<E> extends AbstractLinkedList<E> implements java.io.Serializable
List
implementation with a ListIterator
that
allows concurrent modifications to the underlying list.
This implementation supports all of the optional List
operations.
It extends AbstractLinkedList
and thus provides the
stack/queue/dequeue operations available in LinkedList
.
The main feature of this class is the ability to modify the list and the
iterator at the same time. Both the listIterator()
and cursor()
methods provides access to a Cursor
instance which extends
ListIterator
. The cursor allows changes to the list concurrent
with changes to the iterator. Note that the iterator()
method and
sublists do not provide this cursor behaviour.
The Cursor
class is provided partly for backwards compatibility
and partly because it allows the cursor to be directly closed. Closing the
cursor is optional because references are held via a WeakReference
.
For most purposes, simply modify the iterator and list at will, and then let
the garbage collector to the rest.
Note that this implementation is not synchronized.

If the underlying list is modified while iterating using this iterator
a ConcurrentModificationException will occur.
The cursor behaviour is available via listIterator()
.
public java.util.ListIterator<E> listIterator()
The cursor enables iteration and list changes to occur in any order without invalidating the iterator (from one thread). When elements are added to the list, an event is fired to all active cursors enabling them to adjust to the change in the list.
When the "current" (i.e., last returned by ListIterator.next()
or ListIterator.previous()
) element of the list is removed,
the cursor automatically adjusts to the change (invalidating the
last returned value such that it cannot be removed).

for iterating through the elements of this list.
A Cursor
is a ListIterator
with an additional
close()
method. Calling this method immediately discards the
references to the cursor. If it is not called, then the garbage collector
will still remove the reference as it is held via a WeakReference
.
The cursor enables iteration and list changes to occur in any order without invalidating the iterator (from one thread). When elements are added to the list, an event is fired to all active cursors enabling them to adjust to the change in the list.

The listIterator()
method returns the same as this method, and can
be cast to a Cursor
if the close
method is required.
