      extended by org.apache.commons.collections.map.AbstractOrderedMapDecorator<K,V>

Direct Known Subclasses:
UnmodifiableOrderedMap

public abstract class AbstractOrderedMapDecorator<K,V>
extends AbstractMapDecorator<K,V>
implements OrderedMap<K,V>

Provides a base decorator that enables additional functionality to be added to an OrderedMap via decoration.

Methods are forwarded directly to the decorated map.

This implementation does not perform any special processing with the map views. Instead it simply returns the set/collection from the wrapped map. This may be undesirable, for example if you are trying to write a validating implementation it would provide a loophole around the validation. But, you might want that loophole, so this class is kept simple.

Constructor Detail

AbstractOrderedMapDecorator

protected AbstractOrderedMapDecorator()
Constructor only used in deserialization, do not use otherwise.

Since:
Commons Collections 3.1

AbstractOrderedMapDecorator

public AbstractOrderedMapDecorator(OrderedMap<K,V> map)
Constructor that wraps (not copies).

Parameters:
map - the map to decorate, must not be null
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the collection is null
Method Detail

getOrderedMap

protected OrderedMap<K,V> getOrderedMap()
Gets the map being decorated.

Returns:
the decorated map

firstKey

public K firstKey()
Description copied from interface: OrderedMap
Gets the first key currently in this map.

Specified by:
firstKey in interface OrderedMap<K,V>
Returns:
the first key currently in this map

lastKey

public K lastKey()
Description copied from interface: OrderedMap
Gets the last key currently in this map.

Specified by:
lastKey in interface OrderedMap<K,V>
Returns:
the last key currently in this map

nextKey

public K nextKey(K key)
Description copied from interface: OrderedMap
Gets the next key after the one specified.

Specified by:
nextKey in interface OrderedMap<K,V>
Parameters:
key - the key to search for next from
Returns:
the next key, null if no match or at end

previousKey

public K previousKey(K key)
Description copied from interface: OrderedMap
Gets the previous key before the one specified.

Specified by:
previousKey in interface OrderedMap<K,V>
Parameters:
key - the key to search for previous from
Returns:
the previous key, null if no match or at start

mapIterator

public MapIterator<K,V> mapIterator()
Description copied from interface: IterableMap
Obtains a MapIterator over the map.

A map iterator is an efficient way of iterating over maps. There is no need to access the entry set or cast to Map Entry objects.

 IterableMap map = new HashedMap();
 MapIterator it = map.mapIterator();
 while (it.hasNext()) {
   Object key = it.next();
   Object value = it.getValue();
   it.setValue("newValue");
 }
 

Specified by:
mapIterator in interface IterableMap<K,V>
Returns:
a map iterator

orderedMapIterator

public OrderedMapIterator<K,V> orderedMapIterator()
Description copied from interface: OrderedMap
Obtains an OrderedMapIterator over the map.

A ordered map iterator is an efficient way of iterating over maps in both directions.

 BidiMap map = new TreeBidiMap();
 MapIterator it = map.mapIterator();
 while (it.hasNext()) {
   Object key = it.next();
   Object value = it.getValue();
   it.setValue("newValue");
   Object previousKey = it.previous();
 }
 

Specified by:
orderedMapIterator in interface OrderedMap<K,V>
Returns:
a map iterator
