public interface ObservableMap
extends java.util.Map

ObservableMap interface represents an object with a model being a Map that allows for pluggable notifications for occuring changes.

This is primarily intended for maps that have automatic pruning and purging strategies or maps that are asynchronously modified by different threads.

Starting from Coherence 2.3 it supports optimizations that optionally do not require the map values to be included in the map events, allowing a "lite" event to be delivered and saving memory, processing and bandwidth for distributed applications.

Method Detail

addMapListener

void addMapListener(MapListener listener)
Add a standard map listener that will receive all events (inserts, updates, deletes) that occur against the map, with the key, old-value and new-value included. This has the same result as the following call:
   addMapListener(listener, (Filter) null, false);
 
Parameters:
listener - the MapEvent listener to add

removeMapListener

void removeMapListener(MapListener listener)
Remove a standard map listener that previously signed up for all events. This has the same result as the following call:
   removeMapListener(listener, (Filter) null);
 
Parameters:
listener - the listener to remove

addMapListener

void addMapListener(MapListener listener,
                    java.lang.Object oKey,
                    boolean fLite)
Add a map listener for a specific key.

The listeners will receive MapEvent objects, but if fLite is passed as true, they might not contain the OldValue and NewValue properties.

To unregister the MapListener, use the removeMapListener(MapListener, Object) method.

Parameters:
listener - the MapEvent listener to add
oKey - the key that identifies the entry for which to raise events
fLite - true to indicate that the MapEvent objects do not have to include the OldValue and NewValue property values in order to allow optimizations
Since:
Coherence 2.3

removeMapListener

void removeMapListener(MapListener listener,
                       java.lang.Object oKey)
Remove a map listener that previously signed up for events about a specific key.
Parameters:
listener - the listener to remove
oKey - the key that identifies the entry for which to raise events
Since:
Coherence 2.3

addMapListener

void addMapListener(MapListener listener,
                    Filter filter,
                    boolean fLite)
Add a map listener that receives events based on a filter evaluation.

The listeners will receive MapEvent objects, but if fLite is passed as true, they might not contain the OldValue and NewValue properties.

To unregister the MapListener, use the removeMapListener(MapListener, Filter) method.

Parameters:
listener - the MapEvent listener to add
filter - a filter that will be passed MapEvent objects to select from; a MapEvent will be delivered to the listener only if the filter evaluates to true for that MapEvent (see MapEventFilter); null is equivalent to a filter that alway returns true
fLite - true to indicate that the MapEvent objects do not have to include the OldValue and NewValue property values in order to allow optimizations
Since:
Coherence 2.3

removeMapListener

void removeMapListener(MapListener listener,
                       Filter filter)
Remove a map listener that previously signed up for events based on a filter evaluation.
Parameters:
listener - the listener to remove
filter - the filter that was passed into the corresponding addMapListener() call
Since:
Coherence 2.3
