Class TransformedBuffer

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Iterable, Collection, Buffer
    public class TransformedBuffer
extends TransformedCollection
implements Buffer
    Decorates another Buffer to transform objects that are added.

    The add methods are affected by this class. Thus objects must be removed or searched for using their transformed form. For example, if the transformation converts Strings to Integers, you must use the Integer form to remove objects.

    This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

    Since:
    Commons Collections 3.0

      • TransformedBuffer

        protected TransformedBuffer​(Buffer buffer,
                            Transformer transformer)
        Constructor that wraps (not copies).

        If there are any elements already in the buffer being decorated, they are NOT transformed.

        Parameters:
        buffer - the buffer to decorate, must not be null
        transformer - the transformer to use for conversion, must not be null
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if buffer or transformer is null

      • decorate

        public static Buffer decorate​(Buffer buffer,
                              Transformer transformer)
        Factory method to create a transforming buffer.

        If there are any elements already in the buffer being decorated, they are NOT transformed.

        Parameters:
        buffer - the buffer to decorate, must not be null
        transformer - the transformer to use for conversion, must not be null
        Returns:
        a new transformed Buffer
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if buffer or transformer is null
