PredicatedCollection.Builder (The Adobe AEM Quickstart and Web Application.)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.commons.collections4.collection.PredicatedCollection.Builder<E>

Type Parameters:

E - the element type

Enclosing class:

PredicatedCollection<E>
```
public static class PredicatedCollection.Builder<E>
extends java.lang.Object
```
Builder for creating predicated collections.
Create a Builder with a predicate to validate elements against, then add any elements to the builder. Elements that fail the predicate will be added to a rejected list. Finally create or decorate a collection using the createPredicated[List,Set,Bag,Queue] methods.
An example:
```
   Predicate<String> predicate = NotNullPredicate.notNullPredicate();
   PredicatedCollectionBuilder<String> builder = PredicatedCollection.builder(predicate);
   builder.add("item1");
   builder.add(null);
   builder.add("item2");
   List<String> predicatedList = builder.createPredicatedList();
 
```
At the end of the code fragment above predicatedList is protected by the predicate supplied to the builder and it contains item1 and item2.
More elements can be added to the builder once a predicated collection has been created, but these elements will not be reflected in already created collections.

```
public Builder(Predicate<? super E> predicate)
```
    Constructs a PredicatedCollectionBuilder with the specified Predicate.
    
    Parameters:
    
    predicate - the predicate to use
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if predicate is null
- Method Detail
  - add
```
public PredicatedCollection.Builder<E> add(E item)
```
    Adds the item to the builder.
    If the predicate is true, it is added to the list of accepted elements, otherwise it is added to the rejected list.
    
    Parameters:
    
    item - the element to add
    
    Returns:
    
    the PredicatedCollectionBuilder.
  - addAll
```
public PredicatedCollection.Builder<E> addAll(java.util.Collection<? extends E> items)
```
    Adds all elements from the given collection to the builder.
    All elements for which the predicate evaluates to true will be added to the list of accepted elements, otherwise they are added to the rejected list.
    
    Parameters:
    
    items - the elements to add to the builder
    
    Returns:
    
    the PredicatedCollectionBuilder.
  - createPredicatedList
```
public java.util.List<E> createPredicatedList()
```
    Create a new predicated list filled with the accepted elements.
    The builder is not modified by this method, so it is possible to create more collections or add more elements afterwards. Further changes will not propagate to the returned list.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new predicated list.
  - createPredicatedList
```
public java.util.List<E> createPredicatedList(java.util.List<E> list)
```
    Decorates the given list with validating behavior using the predicate. All accepted elements are appended to the list. If the list already contains elements, they are validated.
    The builder is not modified by this method, so it is possible to create more collections or add more elements afterwards. Further changes will not propagate to the returned list.
    
    Parameters:
    
    list - the List to decorate, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    the decorated list.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if list is null
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if list contains invalid elements
  - createPredicatedSet
```
public java.util.Set<E> createPredicatedSet()
```
    Create a new predicated set filled with the accepted elements.
    The builder is not modified by this method, so it is possible to create more collections or add more elements afterwards. Further changes will not propagate to the returned set.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new predicated set.
  - createPredicatedSet
```
public java.util.Set<E> createPredicatedSet(java.util.Set<E> set)
```
    Decorates the given list with validating behavior using the predicate. All accepted elements are appended to the set. If the set already contains elements, they are validated.
    The builder is not modified by this method, so it is possible to create more collections or add more elements afterwards. Further changes will not propagate to the returned set.
    
    Parameters:
    
    set - the set to decorate, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    the decorated set.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if set is null
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if set contains invalid elements
  - createPredicatedMultiSet
```
public MultiSet<E> createPredicatedMultiSet()
```
    Create a new predicated multiset filled with the accepted elements.
    The builder is not modified by this method, so it is possible to create more collections or add more elements afterwards. Further changes will not propagate to the returned multiset.
