Class ImmutableMultiList

java.lang.Object
java.util.AbstractCollection
java.util.AbstractList
com.tangosol.util.ImmutableMultiList

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Iterable, java.util.Collection, java.util.List, java.util.Set

public class ImmutableMultiList

extends java.util.AbstractList

implements java.util.List, java.util.Set

Implementation of the List interface in a read-only fashion based on a collection of arrays.

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.

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(java.lang.Object[][] aao)

Construct a List containing the elements of the specified array of Object arrays.

Parameters:

aao - the array of arrays backing the MultiList

ImmutableMultiList

public ImmutableMultiList(java.util.Collection collection)

Construct a List containing the elements of the specified Collection of Object arrays.

Parameters:

collection - the Collection of arrays to fill this MultiList from

Method Detail

getList

public java.util.List getList()

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

Returns:

a List view of this ImmutableMultiList

getSet

public java.util.Set getSet()

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

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.

Returns:

a Set view of this ImmutableMultiList

size

public int size()

Returns the number of elements in this List.

Specified by:

size in interface java.util.Collection

Specified by:

size in interface java.util.List

Specified by:

size in interface java.util.Set

Specified by:

size in class java.util.AbstractCollection

Returns:

the number of elements in this List

get

public java.lang.Object get(int i)

Returns the element at the specified position in this List.

Specified by:

get in interface java.util.List

Specified by:

get in class java.util.AbstractList

Parameters:

i - the index of the element to return

Returns:

the element at the specified position in this List

Throws:

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

indexOf

public int indexOf(java.lang.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 java.util.List

Overrides:

indexOf in class java.util.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(java.lang.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 java.util.List

Overrides:

lastIndexOf in class java.util.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(java.lang.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 java.util.Collection

Specified by:

contains in interface java.util.List

Specified by:

contains in interface java.util.Set

Overrides:

contains in class java.util.AbstractCollection

Parameters:

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

Returns:

true if this List contains the specified element

toArray

public java.lang.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 java.util.Collection

Specified by:

toArray in interface java.util.List

Specified by:

toArray in interface java.util.Set

Overrides:

toArray in class java.util.AbstractCollection

Returns:

an array containing all of the elements in this List

toArray

public java.lang.Object[] toArray(java.lang.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.

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.

toArray in interface java.util.List

Specified by:

toArray in interface java.util.Set

Overrides:
