public class PredicatedBag extends PredicatedCollection implements Bag
Decorates another Bag to validate that additions match a specified predicate.

This bag exists to provide validation for the decorated bag. It is normally created to decorate an empty bag. If an object cannot be added to the bag, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

One usage would be to ensure that no null entries are added to the bag. 

Bag bag = PredicatedBag.decorate(new HashBag(), NotNullPredicate.INSTANCE);

This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

      Parameters:
      bag - the bag to decorate, must not be null
      predicate - the predicate to use for validation, must not be null
      Throws:

    • decorate

      public static Bag decorate(Bag bag, Predicate predicate)
      Factory method to create a predicated (validating) bag.

      If there are any elements already in the bag being decorated, they are validated.

      Parameters:
      bag - the bag to decorate, must not be null
      predicate - the predicate to use for validation, must not be null
      Returns:
      a new predicated Bag

      the decorated bag

    • add

      public boolean add(Object object, int count)
      Description copied from interface: Bag
      Adds nCopies copies of the specified object to the Bag.

      If the object is already in the Bag.uniqueSet() then increment its count as reported by Bag.getCount(Object). Otherwise add it to the Bag.uniqueSet() and report its count as nCopies.

      Specified by:
      add in interface Bag
      Parameters:
      object - the object to add
      count - the number of copies to add
      Returns:
      true if the object was not already in the uniqueSet

    • remove

      public boolean remove(Object object, int count)
      Description copied from interface: Bag
      Removes nCopies copies of the specified object from the Bag.

      If the number of copies to remove is greater than the actual number of copies in the Bag, no error is thrown.

      Specified by:
      remove in interface Bag
      Parameters:
      object - the object to remove
      count - the number of copies to remove
      Returns:
      true if this call changed the collection

    • uniqueSet

      public Set uniqueSet()
      Description copied from interface: Bag
      Returns a Set of unique elements in the Bag.

      Uniqueness constraints are the same as those in Set.

      Specified by:
      uniqueSet in interface Bag
      Returns:
      the Set of unique Bag elements

    • getCount

      public int getCount(Object object)
      Description copied from interface: Bag
      Returns the number of occurrences (cardinality) of the given object currently in the bag. If the object does not exist in the bag, return 0.
      Specified by:
      getCount in interface Bag
      Parameters:
      object - the object to search for
