All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable, Collection, List, Set

public class ImmutableMultiList

extends AbstractList

implements List, Set

Implementation of the List interface in a read-only fashion based on a collection of arrays. <p/> This class also implements the Set interface, although the contents are not checked to determine whether each element is unique. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the elements are unique if the object is used as a Set. <p/> Note: while preserved for backward compatibility, as of Coherence 3.6, use of this class specifically as a List or a Set is deprecated. Instead, the getList(), getSet() methods should be used.

Constructor Detail

ImmutableMultiList

public ImmutableMultiList(Object[][] aao)

Parameters:

aao - the array of arrays backing the MultiList

Return a java.util.List view of this ImmutableMultiList.

Returns:

a List view of this ImmutableMultiList

getSet

public Set getSet()

Return a java.util.Set view of this ImmutableMultiList. <p/> Note: this method does not ensure that the underlying ImmutableMultiList adheres to the Set contract. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the elements are unique if the object is used as a SortedSet.

size

public int size()

Returns the number of elements in this List.

Specified by:

size in interface Collection

Specified by:

get in interface List

Specified by:

get in class AbstractList

Parameters:

i - the index of the element to return

Returns:

the element at the specified position in this List

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size()).

indexOf

public int indexOf(Object o)

Returns the index in this List of the first occurrence of the specified element, or -1 if this List does not contain this element. More formally, returns the lowest index i such that (o==null ? get(i)==null : o.equals(get(i))), or -1 if there is no such index.

Specified by:

indexOf in interface List

Overrides:

indexOf in class AbstractList

Parameters:

o - element to search for.

Returns:

the index in this List of the first occurrence of the specified element, or -1 if this List does not contain this element.

lastIndexOf

public int lastIndexOf(Object o)

Returns the index in this List of the last occurrence of the specified element, or -1 if this List does not contain this element. More formally, returns the highest index i such that (o==null ? get(i)==null : o.equals(get(i))), or -1 if there is no such index.

Specified by:

lastIndexOf in interface List

Overrides:

lastIndexOf in class AbstractList

Parameters:

o - element to search for.

Returns:

the index in this List of the last occurrence of the specified element, or -1 if this List does not contain this element.

contains

public boolean contains(Object o)

Returns true if this List contains the specified element. More formally, returns true if and only if this List contains at least one element e such that (o==null ? e==null : o.equals(e)).

Specified by:

contains in interface Collection

Specified by:

contains in interface List

Specified by:

contains in interface Set

Overrides:

contains in class AbstractCollection

Parameters:

o - element whose presence in this List is to be tested

Returns:

true if this List contains the specified element

toArray

public Object[] toArray()

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this List in the order that the elements occur in the List. The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by the List. The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.

Specified by:

toArray in interface Collection

Specified by:

toArray in interface List

Specified by:

toArray in interface Set

Overrides:

toArray in class AbstractCollection

Returns:

an array containing all of the elements in this List

See Also:

Arrays.asList(Object[])

toArray

public Object[] toArray(Object[] ao)

Returns an array with ao runtime type is that of the specified array and that contains all of the elements in this List. If the elements all fit in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this List. <p/> If the elements of the MultiList fit in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than the MultuList), the element in the array immediately following the end of the last element is set to null.

Specified by:

toArray in interface Collection

Specified by:

toArray in interface List

Specified by:

toArray in interface Set

Overrides:

toArray in class AbstractCollection

Parameters:

ao - the array into which the elements of the MultiList are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, ao new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose

Returns:

an array containing all the elements of the MultiList

Throws:

ArrayStoreException - if the runtime type of the specified array is not ao supertype of the runtime type of every element in this MultiList

listIterator

public ListIterator listIterator()

Returns an iterator of the elements in this list (in proper sequence). This implementation returns listIterator(0).

Specified by:

listIterator in interface List

Overrides:

listIterator in class AbstractList

Returns:

an iterator of the elements in this list (in proper sequence).

See Also:

AbstractList.listIterator(int)

listIterator2

public ListIterator listIterator2(int i)

subList

public List subList(int iFrom,
                    int iTo)

Returns a view of the portion of this list between fromIndex, inclusive, and toIndex, exclusive. (If fromIndex and toIndex are equal, the returned list is empty.) The returned list is backed by this list, so changes in the returned list are reflected in this list, and vice-versa. The returned list supports all of the optional list operations supported by this list.

This method eliminates the need for explicit range operations (of the sort that commonly exist for arrays). Any operation that expects a list can be used as a range operation by operating on a subList view instead of a whole list. For example, the following idiom removes a range of elements from a list:

     list.subList(from, to).clear();
 

Similar idioms may be constructed for indexOf and lastIndexOf, and all of the algorithms in the Collections class can be applied to a subList.

The semantics of the list returned by this method become undefined if the backing list (i.e., this list) is structurally modified in any way other than via the returned list. (Structural modifications are those that change the size of the list, or otherwise perturb it in such a fashion that iterations in progress may yield incorrect results.)

This implementation returns a list that subclasses AbstractList. The subclass stores, in private fields, the offset of the subList within the backing list, the size of the subList (which can change over its lifetime), and the expected modCount value of the backing list. There are two variants of the subclass, one of which implements RandomAccess. If this list implements RandomAccess the returned list will be an instance of the subclass that implements RandomAccess.

The subclass's set(int, Object), get(int), add(int, Object), remove(int), addAll(int, Collection) and removeRange(int, int) methods all delegate to the corresponding methods on the backing abstract list, after bounds-checking the index and adjusting for the offset. The addAll(Collection c) method merely returns addAll(size, c).

The listIterator(int) method returns a "wrapper object" over a list iterator on the backing list, which is created with the corresponding method on the backing list. The iterator method merely returns listIterator(), and the size method merely returns the subclass's size field.

All methods first check to see if the actual modCount of the backing list is equal to its expected value, and throw a ConcurrentModificationException if it is not.

Specified by:

subList in interface List

Overrides:

subList in class AbstractList

Parameters:

iFrom - low endpoint (inclusive) of the subList.

iTo - high endpoint (exclusive) of the subList.

a view of the specified range within this list.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Specified by:

equals in interface List

calculateTotalLength

public static int calculateTotalLength(Object[][] aao)

Calculate the total number of element in the array of arrays.

Parameters:

aao - an array of arrays

Create a single dimensional array containing all elements of the specified array of arrays.

Parameters:

aaoFrom - an array of arrays to copy from

cTotal - the total length of the flattened array; pass -1 for it to be calculated
