Class AbstractOrderedBidiMapDecorator

All Implemented Interfaces:
Map, BidiMap, IterableMap, OrderedBidiMap, OrderedMap
Direct Known Subclasses:
AbstractSortedBidiMapDecorator, UnmodifiableOrderedBidiMap

public abstract class AbstractOrderedBidiMapDecorator extends AbstractBidiMapDecorator implements OrderedBidiMap
Provides a base decorator that enables additional functionality to be added to an OrderedBidiMap via decoration.

Methods are forwarded directly to the decorated map.

This implementation does not perform any special processing with the map views. Instead it simply returns the inverse from the wrapped map. This may be undesirable, for example if you are trying to write a validating implementation it would provide a loophole around the validation. But, you might want that loophole, so this class is kept simple.

  • Constructor Details

    • AbstractOrderedBidiMapDecorator

      protected AbstractOrderedBidiMapDecorator(OrderedBidiMap map)
      Constructor that wraps (not copies).
      Parameters:
      map - the map to decorate, must not be null
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the collection is null
  • Method Details

    • getOrderedBidiMap

      protected OrderedBidiMap getOrderedBidiMap()
      Gets the map being decorated.
      Returns:
      the decorated map
    • orderedMapIterator

      public OrderedMapIterator orderedMapIterator()
      Description copied from interface: OrderedMap
      Obtains an OrderedMapIterator over the map.

      A ordered map iterator is an efficient way of iterating over maps in both directions.

       BidiMap map = new TreeBidiMap();
       MapIterator it = map.mapIterator();
       while (it.hasNext()) {
         Object key = it.next();
         Object value = it.getValue();
         it.setValue("newValue");
         Object previousKey = it.previous();
       }
       
      Specified by:
      orderedMapIterator in interface OrderedMap
      Returns:
      a map iterator
    • firstKey

      public Object firstKey()
      Description copied from interface: OrderedMap
      Gets the first key currently in this map.
      Specified by:
      firstKey in interface OrderedMap
      Returns:
      the first key currently in this map
    • lastKey

      public Object lastKey()
      Description copied from interface: OrderedMap
      Gets the last key currently in this map.
      Specified by:
      lastKey in interface OrderedMap
      Returns:
      the last key currently in this map
    • nextKey

      public Object nextKey(Object key)
      Description copied from interface: OrderedMap
      Gets the next key after the one specified.
      Specified by:
      nextKey in interface OrderedMap
      Parameters:
      key - the key to search for next from
      Returns:
      the next key, null if no match or at end
    • previousKey

      public Object previousKey(Object key)
      Description copied from interface: OrderedMap
      Gets the previous key before the one specified.
      Specified by:
      previousKey in interface OrderedMap
      Parameters:
      key - the key to search for previous from
      Returns:
      the previous key, null if no match or at start
    • inverseOrderedBidiMap

      public OrderedBidiMap inverseOrderedBidiMap()
      Description copied from interface: OrderedBidiMap
      Gets a view of this map where the keys and values are reversed.

      Changes to one map will be visible in the other and vice versa. This enables both directions of the map to be accessed equally.

      Implementations should seek to avoid creating a new object every time this method is called. See AbstractMap.values() etc. Calling this method on the inverse map should return the original.

      Specified by:
      inverseOrderedBidiMap in interface OrderedBidiMap
      Returns:
      an inverted bidirectional map
