public class Maps

extends java.lang.Object

An aggregation of abstract and concrete implementations of the Maps.AbstractHashMap interface which address various usage scenarios.

Most of the concrete map classes provided here extend, directly or indirectly, the abstract class Maps.AbstractHashMap, which provides a more extensible replacement for HashMap. These concrete classes are the following:

• Maps.StrongHashMap A standard hash map: a direct but more extensible replacement for HashMap.
• Maps.SoftHashMap A hash map with softly-referenced values.
• Maps.WeakHashMap A hash map with weakly-referenced values.
• Maps.StrongLinkedHashMap A standard linked hash map: a direct but more extensible replacement for LinkedHashMap.
• Maps.SoftLinkedHashMap A linked hash map with softly-referenced values.
• Maps.WeakLinkedHashMap A linked hash map with weakly-referenced values.
• Maps.CacheMap A linked hash map with pluggable caching strategies.
• Maps.ManagedCacheMap A cache map that is remotely monitorable as a managed bean.

The following concrete Maps.CacheStrategy classes are provided:

• Maps.UnboundedCacheStrategy A strategy for an unbounded cache (effectively, a plain linked hash map).
• Maps.BoundedLruCacheStrategy A strategy for a bounded LRU cache.
• Maps.TimedLruCacheStrategy A strategy for a timed, bounded LRU cache.

Nested Class Summary

static class	Maps.AbstractHashMap<K,V,E extends Maps.BaseEntry<K,V>> An abstract, but nearly complete, implementation of the Map interface that is functionally equivalent to HashMap but that allows subclasses to do any or all of the following: control the concrete class of Map.Entry instances used so long as they extend Maps.BaseEntry (see Maps.AbstractHashMap.createEntry(int, K, V, E)); override the calculation of hashCode and equals for all keys (see Maps.AbstractHashMap.keyHashCode(java.lang.Object) and Maps.AbstractHashMap.keyEquals(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)); override the calculation of hashCode and equals for all values (see Maps.AbstractHashMap.valueHashCode(java.lang.Object) and Maps.AbstractHashMap.valueEquals(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)); track when the map is constructed, initialized, and changed (see Maps.AbstractHashMap.mapConstructed(), Maps.AbstractHashMap.mapInitialized(), and Maps.AbstractHashMap.mapChanged()).
static class	Maps.AbstractLinkedHashMap<K,V,E extends Maps.LinkedEntry<K,V>> An abstract, but nearly complete, implementation of the Map interface that is functionally equivalent to LinkedHashMap but is based on Maps.AbstractHashMap and allows subclasses the same customization options.
static interface	Maps.BaseEntry<K,V> The extended Map.Entry interface required by Maps.AbstractHashMap for its entries.
static class	Maps.BoundedLruCacheStrategy<K,V> A bounded size LRU (least recently used) cache strategy.
static class	Maps.CacheMap<K,V>
static class	Maps.CacheStrategy<K,V> An abstract caching strategy for a cache map.
static class	Maps.EvictedLinkedEntry<K,V>
static interface	Maps.LinkedEntry<K,V> The Map.Entry (and Maps.BaseEntry) extended interface required by Maps.AbstractLinkedHashMap for its entries.
static class	Maps.ManagedCacheMap<K,V> A cache map which is an MBean and can be monitored by a JMX client (e.g., JConsole).
static interface	Maps.ManagedCacheMapMBean
static class	Maps.SoftEntry<K,V> An Maps.BaseEntry implementation which holds its value with a SoftReference.
static class	Maps.SoftHashMap<K,V> An implementation of Maps.AbstractHashMap, based on Maps.SoftEntry, which holds its values with SoftReferences.
static class	Maps.SoftLinkedEntry<K,V> An Maps.LinkedEntry implementation which holds its value with a SoftReference.
static class	Maps.SoftLinkedHashMap<K,V> An implementation of Maps.AbstractLinkedHashMap, based on Maps.SoftLinkedEntry, which holds its values with SoftReferences.
static class	Maps.StrongEntry<K,V> The default Maps.BaseEntry implementation.
static class	Maps.StrongHashMap<K,V> The default implementation of Maps.AbstractHashMap, based on Maps.StrongEntry.
static class	Maps.StrongLinkedEntry<K,V> The default Maps.LinkedEntry implementation.

static class	Maps.TimedSoftLinkedEntry<K,V>
static class	Maps.TimedStrongLinkedEntry<K,V>
static class	Maps.TimedWeakLinkedEntry<K,V>
static class	Maps.UnboundedCacheStrategy<K,V> An unbounded cache strategy.
static class	Maps.WeakEntry<K,V> An Maps.BaseEntry implementation which holds its value with a WeakReference.
static class	Maps.WeakHashMap<K,V> An implementation of Maps.AbstractHashMap, based on Maps.WeakEntry, which holds its values with WeakReferences.
static class	Maps.WeakLinkedEntry<K,V> An Maps.LinkedEntry implementation which holds its value with a WeakReference.
static class	Maps.WeakLinkedHashMap<K,V> An implementation of Maps.AbstractLinkedHashMap, based on Maps.WeakLinkedEntry, which holds its values with WeakReferences.
