public class DefaultedMap<K,V> extends AbstractMapDecorator<K,V> implements java.io.Serializable
Map
returning a default value if the map
does not contain the requested key.
When the get(Object)
method is called with a key that does not
exist in the map, this map will return the default value specified in
the constructor/factory. Only the get method is altered, so the
Map.containsKey(Object)
can be used to determine if a key really
is in the map or not.
The defaulted value is not added to the map.
Compare this behaviour with LazyMap
, which does add the value
to the map (via a Transformer).
For instance:
Map map = new DefaultedMap("NULL"); Object obj = map.get("Surname"); // obj == "NULL"After the above code is executed the map is still empty.
Note that DefaultedMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe.
If you wish to use this map from multiple threads concurrently, you must use
appropriate synchronization. The simplest approach is to wrap this map
using Collections.synchronizedMap(Map)
. This class may throw
exceptions when accessed by concurrent threads without synchronization.

public DefaultedMap(V defaultValue)
DefaultedMap

The object passed in will be returned by the map whenever an unknown key is requested.

The transformer specified is called when a missing key is found. The key is passed to the transformer as the input, and the result will be returned as the result of the map get(key) method.
