Class CompositeSet<E>
- java.lang.Object
 - 
- org.apache.commons.collections4.set.CompositeSet<E>
 
 
- 
- Type Parameters:
 E- the type of the elements in this set
- All Implemented Interfaces:
 java.io.Serializable,java.lang.Iterable<E>,java.util.Collection<E>,java.util.Set<E>
public class CompositeSet<E> extends java.lang.Object implements java.util.Set<E>, java.io.SerializableDecorates a set of other sets to provide a single unified view.Changes made to this set will actually be made on the decorated set. Add operations require the use of a pluggable strategy. If no strategy is provided then add is unsupported.
From version 4.0, this class does not extend
CompositeCollectionanymore due to its input restrictions (only accepts Sets). See COLLECTIONS-424 for more details.- Since:
 - 3.0

Constructor Detail

CompositeSet
public CompositeSet()
Create an empty CompositeSet. 
- 
CompositeSet
public CompositeSet(java.util.Set<E> set)
Create a CompositeSet with justsetcomposited.- Parameters:
 set- the initial set in the composite
 
- 
CompositeSet
public CompositeSet(java.util.Set<E>... sets)
Create a composite set with sets as the initial set of composited Sets.- Parameters:
 sets- the initial sets in the composite
 
 - 
 
- 
Method Detail
- 
size
public int size()
Gets the size of this composite set.This implementation calls
size()on each set. 
- 
isEmpty
public boolean isEmpty()
Checks whether this composite set is empty.This implementation calls
isEmpty()on each set. 
- 
contains
public boolean contains(java.lang.Object obj)
Checks whether this composite set contains the object.This implementation calls
contains()on each set. 
- 
iterator
public java.util.Iterator<E> iterator()
Gets an iterator over all the sets in this composite.This implementation uses an
IteratorChain.- Specified by:
 iteratorin interfacejava.util.Collection<E>- Specified by:
 iteratorin interfacejava.lang.Iterable<E>- Specified by:
 iteratorin interfacejava.util.Set<E>- Returns:
 - an 
IteratorChaininstance which supportsremove(). Iteration occurs over contained collections in the order they were added, but this behavior should not be relied upon. - See Also:
 IteratorChain
 
- 
toArray
public java.lang.Object[] toArray()
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this composite. 
- 
toArray
public <T> T[] toArray(T[] array)
Returns an object array, populating the supplied array if possible. SeeCollectioninterface for full details. 
- 
add
public boolean add(E obj)
Adds an object to the collection, throwing UnsupportedOperationException unless a SetMutator strategy is specified.- Specified by:
 addin interfacejava.util.Collection<E>- Specified by:
 addin interfacejava.util.Set<E>- Parameters:
 obj- the object to add- Returns:
 trueif the collection was modified- Throws:
 java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException- if SetMutator hasn't been set or add is unsupportedjava.lang.ClassCastException- if the object cannot be added due to its typejava.lang.NullPointerException- if the object cannot be added because its nulljava.lang.IllegalArgumentException- if the object cannot be added
 
- 
remove
public boolean remove(java.lang.Object obj)
If aCollectionMutatoris defined for this CompositeSet then this method will be called anyway. 
- 
containsAll
public boolean containsAll(java.util.Collection<?> coll)
Checks whether this composite contains all the elements in the specified collection.This implementation calls
contains()for each element in the specified collection. 
- 
addAll
public boolean addAll(java.util.Collection<? extends E> coll)
Adds a collection of elements to this composite, throwing UnsupportedOperationException unless a SetMutator strategy is specified.- Specified by:
 addAllin interfacejava.util.Collection<E>- Specified by:
 addAllin interfacejava.util.Set<E>- Parameters:
 coll- the collection to add- Returns:
 - true if the composite was modified
 - Throws:
 java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException- if SetMutator hasn't been set or add is unsupportedjava.lang.ClassCastException- if the object cannot be added due to its typejava.lang.NullPointerException- if the object cannot be added because its nulljava.lang.IllegalArgumentException- if the object cannot be added
 
- 
removeIf
public boolean removeIf(java.util.function.Predicate<? super E> filter)
- Specified by:
 removeIfin interfacejava.util.Collection<E>- Since:
 - 4.4
 
 
- 
removeAll
public boolean removeAll(java.util.Collection<?> coll)
Removes the elements in the specified collection from this composite set.This implementation calls
removeAllon each collection. 
- 
retainAll
public boolean retainAll(java.util.Collection<?> coll)
Retains all the elements in the specified collection in this composite set, removing all others.This implementation calls
retainAll()on each collection. 
- 
clear
public void clear()
Removes all of the elements from this composite set.This implementation calls
clear()on each set. 
- 
setMutator
public void setMutator(CompositeSet.SetMutator<E> mutator)
Specify a SetMutator strategy instance to handle changes.- Parameters:
 mutator- the mutator to use
 
- 
addComposited
public void addComposited(java.util.Set<E> set)
Add a Set to this composite.- Parameters:
 set- the set to add- Throws:
 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException- if a SetMutator is set, but fails to resolve a collisionjava.lang.UnsupportedOperationException- if there is no SetMutator setjava.lang.NullPointerException- ifsetis null- See Also:
 CompositeSet.SetMutator
 
- 
addComposited
public void addComposited(java.util.Set<E> set1, java.util.Set<E> set2)
Add these Sets to the list of sets in this composite.- Parameters:
 set1- the first Set to be appended to the compositeset2- the second Set to be appended to the composite
