org.apache.commons.collections4.functors.WhileClosure<E>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closure<E>

public class WhileClosure<E>
extends java.lang.Object
implements Closure<E>

Closure implementation that executes a closure repeatedly until a condition is met, like a do-while or while loop.

WARNING: from v4.1 onwards this class will not be serializable anymore in order to prevent potential remote code execution exploits. Please refer to COLLECTIONS-580 for more details.

Constructor Detail

WhileClosure

public WhileClosure(Predicate<? super E> predicate,
                    Closure<? super E> closure,
                    boolean doLoop)

Constructor that performs no validation. Use whileClosure if you want that.

Parameters:

predicate - the predicate used to evaluate when the loop terminates, not null

closure - the closure the execute, not null

doLoop - true to act as a do-while loop, always executing the closure once

Method Detail

whileClosure

public static <E> Closure<E> whileClosure(Predicate<? super E> predicate,
                                          Closure<? super E> closure,
                                          boolean doLoop)

Factory method that performs validation.

Type Parameters:

E - the type that the closure acts on

Parameters:

predicate - the predicate used to evaluate when the loop terminates, not null

closure - the closure the execute, not null

doLoop - true to act as a do-while loop, always executing the closure once

Returns:

the while closure

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the predicate or closure is null

execute

public void execute(E input)

Executes the closure until the predicate is false.

Specified by:

execute in interface Closure<E>

Parameters:

input - the input object

getPredicate

public Predicate<? super E> getPredicate()

Gets the predicate in use.

Returns:

the predicate

Since:

3.1

getClosure

public Closure<? super E> getClosure()

Gets the closure.

Returns:

the closure

Since:

3.1

isDoLoop

public boolean isDoLoop()

Is the loop a do-while loop.

Returns:

true is do-while, false if while

Since:

3.1
