Class MultiMap<K,V>

java.lang.Object
  oracle.javatools.util.MultiMap<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Map<K,java.util.Collection<V>>

Direct Known Subclasses:

DBObjectIDMultiMap

public class MultiMap<K,V>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Map<K,java.util.Collection<V>>

An object that maps keys to collections of values. MultiMap<K,V> is, in fact, a subtype of Map<K,Collection<V>>; this type adds a small number of methods that accept values of V directly, rather than values of Collection<V>.

MultiMap uses an underlying map to store the keys and associated collections, and uses reflection to create the collections when needed. From the default constructor, the underlying map is a LinkedHashMap, and the collections class is ArrayList; other constructors allow other classes to be specified (for example, ArraySortedSet for the collections class).

If the collection of values associated with a key becomes empty for any reason, the collection is removed from the map. This ensures, for example, that isEmpty() == (valuesSize() == 0) and that containsKey(key) == (valuesSize(key) > 0).
