All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Map, java.io.Serializable, java.util.SortedMap

public class TransformedSortedMap

extends TransformedMap

implements java.util.SortedMap

Decorates another SortedMap to transform objects that are added.

The Map put methods and Map.Entry setValue method 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

Method Detail

decorate

public static java.util.SortedMap decorate(java.util.SortedMap map,
                                           Transformer keyTransformer,
                                           Transformer valueTransformer)

Factory method to create a transforming sorted map.

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

Parameters:

map - the map to decorate, must not be null

keyTransformer - the predicate to validate the keys, null means no transformation

valueTransformer - the predicate to validate to values, null means no transformation

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the map is null

Specified by:
