public class LazyMap<K,V> extends AbstractMapDecorator<K,V> implements java.io.Serializable
Map to create objects in the map on demand.
When the get(Object) method is called with a key that does not
exist in the map, the factory is used to create the object. The created
object will be added to the map using the requested key.
For instance:
Factory<Date> factory = new Factory<Date>() {
public Date create() {
return new Date();
}
}
Map<String, Date> lazy = LazyMap.lazyMap(new HashMap<String, Date>(), factory);
Date date = lazy.get("NOW");
After the above code is executed, date will refer to
a new Date instance. Furthermore, that Date
instance is mapped to the "NOW" key in the map.
Note that LazyMap 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.
This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.
