Class TreeBag<E>

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.commons.collections.bag.AbstractMapBag<E>
      org.apache.commons.collections.bag.TreeBag<E>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Bag<E>, SortedBag<E>

public class TreeBag<E>
extends AbstractMapBag<E>
implements SortedBag<E>, Serializable

Implements SortedBag, using a TreeMap to provide the data storage. This is the standard implementation of a sorted bag.

Order will be maintained among the bag members and can be viewed through the iterator.

A Bag stores each object in the collection together with a count of occurrences. Extra methods on the interface allow multiple copies of an object to be added or removed at once. It is important to read the interface javadoc carefully as several methods violate the Collection interface specification.

Since:

Commons Collections 3.0 (previously in main package v2.0)
