Class TransformedSplitMap<J,K,U,V>

org.apache.commons.collections4.splitmap.AbstractIterableGetMapDecorator<K,V>

org.apache.commons.collections4.splitmap.TransformedSplitMap<J,K,U,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Get<K,V>, IterableGet<K,V>, Put<J,U>

public class TransformedSplitMap<J,K,U,V>
extends AbstractIterableGetMapDecorator<K,V>
implements Put<J,U>, java.io.Serializable

Decorates another Map to transform objects that are added.

The Map put methods and Map.Entry setValue method are affected by this class. Thus objects must be removed or searched for using their transformed form. For example, if the transformation converts Strings to Integers, you must use the Integer form to remove objects.

Note that TransformedMap 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.

The "put" and "get" type constraints of this class are mutually independent; contrast with TransformedMap which, by virtue of its implementing Map<K, V>, must be constructed in such a way that its read and write parameters are generalized to a common (super-)type. In practice this would often mean >Object, Object>, defeating much of the usefulness of having parameterized types.

On the downside, this class is not drop-in compatible with Map but is intended to be worked with either directly or by Put and Get generalizations.

Method Detail

transformingMap

public static <J,K,U,V> TransformedSplitMap<J,K,U,V> transformingMap(java.util.Map<K,V> map,
                                                                     Transformer<? super J,? extends K> keyTransformer,
                                                                     Transformer<? super U,? extends V> valueTransformer)

Factory method to create a transforming map.

If there are any elements already in the map being decorated, they are NOT transformed.

Type Parameters:

J - the input key type

K - the output key type

U - the input value type

V - the output value type

Parameters:

map - the map to decorate, must not be null

keyTransformer - the transformer to use for key conversion, must not be null

valueTransformer - the transformer to use for value conversion, must not be null

Returns:

a new transformed map

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if map or either of the transformers is null

put

public V put(J key,
             U value)

Description copied from interface: Put

Note that the return type is Object, rather than V as in the Map interface. See the class Javadoc for further info.

Specified by:

putAll

public void putAll(java.util.Map<? extends J,? extends U> mapToCopy)

Specified by:

putAll in interface Put<J,U>

clear
