public class SoftHashMap
extends java.util.AbstractMap
implements java.util.Map, java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

A map implemented using SoftReferences to store the values.

Unlike the java.util.WeakHashMap implementation, this does not utilize a ReferenceQueue, therefore, the References are cleared immediately, rather than only after a modification to the Map. Additionally, since this uses SoftReferences by default, the Map shouldn't be immediately cleared. Finally, this is also cloneable and serializable.

Since:
2.0.1-sp1

Constructor Detail

SoftHashMap

public SoftHashMap(int initialCapacity,
                   float loadFactor)
Constructs a new, empty SoftHashMap with the given initial capacity and the given load factor.
Parameters:
initialCapacity - The initial capacity of the SoftHashMap
loadFactor - The load factor of the SoftHashMap
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the initial capacity is less than zero, or if the load factor is nonpositive

SoftHashMap

public SoftHashMap(int initialCapacity)
Constructs a new, empty SoftHashMap with the given initial capacity and the default load factor, which is 0.75.
Parameters:
initialCapacity - The initial capacity of the SoftHashMap
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the initial capacity is less than zero

SoftHashMap

public SoftHashMap()
Constructs a new, empty SoftHashMap with the default capacity and the default load factor, which is 0.75.

SoftHashMap

public SoftHashMap(java.util.Map map)
Constructs a new SoftHashMap from the specified Map.
Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
Return a shallow clone of this map.
Overrides:
clone in class java.lang.Object

createReference

protected java.lang.ref.Reference createReference(java.lang.Object data)
Create a Reference object containing the specified object.

This implementation returns SoftReferences. Subclasses can override to return other Reference types.

Parameters:
data - the object (can be null).
Returns:
a Reference (can be null if data is null).

size

public int size()
Returns the number of key-value mappings in this map. Note: In contrast with most implementations of the Map interface, the time required by this operation is linear in the size of the map.
Specified by:
size in interface java.util.Map
Overrides:
size in class java.util.AbstractMap

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()
Returns true if this map contains no key-value mappings.
Specified by:
isEmpty in interface java.util.Map
Overrides:
isEmpty in class java.util.AbstractMap

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(java.lang.Object key)
Returns true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key.
Specified by:
containsKey in interface java.util.Map
Overrides:
containsKey in class java.util.AbstractMap
Parameters:
key - The key whose presence in this map is to be tested

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(java.lang.Object value)
Returns true if this map contains the specified value.
Specified by:
containsValue in interface java.util.Map
Overrides:
containsValue in class java.util.AbstractMap

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.Object key)
Returns the value to which this map maps the specified key. If this map does not contain a value for this key, then return null.
Specified by:
get in interface java.util.Map
Overrides:
get in class java.util.AbstractMap
Parameters:
key - The key whose associated value, if any, is to be returned

put

public java.lang.Object put(java.lang.Object key,
                            java.lang.Object value)
Updates this map so that the given key maps to the given value. If the map previously contained a mapping for key then that mapping is replaced and the previous value is returned.
Specified by:
put in interface java.util.Map
Overrides:
put in class java.util.AbstractMap
Parameters:
key - The key that is to be mapped to the given value
value - The value to which the given key is to be mapped
Returns:
The previous value to which this key was mapped, or null if if there was no mapping for the key

remove

public java.lang.Object remove(java.lang.Object key)
Removes the mapping for the given key from this map, if present.
Specified by:
remove in interface java.util.Map
Overrides:
remove in class java.util.AbstractMap
Parameters:
key - The key whose mapping is to be removed
Returns:
The value to which this key was mapped, or null if there was no mapping for the key

clear

public void clear()
Removes all mappings from this map.
Specified by:
clear in interface java.util.Map
Overrides:
clear in class java.util.AbstractMap

entrySet

public java.util.Set entrySet()
Returns a Set view of the mappings in this map.
Specified by:
entrySet in interface java.util.Map
Overrides:
entrySet in class java.util.AbstractMap
