public abstract class AbstractReferenceMap<K,V>
extends AbstractHashedMap<K,V>

An abstract implementation of a hash-based map that allows the entries to be removed by the garbage collector.

This class implements all the features necessary for a subclass reference hash-based map. Key-value entries are stored in instances of the ReferenceEntry class which can be overridden and replaced. The iterators can similarly be replaced, without the need to replace the KeySet, EntrySet and Values view classes.

Overridable methods are provided to change the default hashing behavior, and to change how entries are added to and removed from the map. Hopefully, all you need for unusual subclasses is here.

When you construct an AbstractReferenceMap, you can specify what kind of references are used to store the map's keys and values. If non-hard references are used, then the garbage collector can remove mappings if a key or value becomes unreachable, or if the JVM's memory is running low. For information on how the different reference types behave, see Reference.

Different types of references can be specified for keys and values. The keys can be configured to be weak but the values hard, in which case this class will behave like a WeakHashMap. However, you can also specify hard keys and weak values, or any other combination. The default constructor uses hard keys and soft values, providing a memory-sensitive cache.

This Map implementation does not allow null elements. Attempting to add a null key or value to the map will raise a NullPointerException.

All the available iterators can be reset back to the start by casting to ResettableIterator and calling reset().

This implementation is not synchronized. You can use Collections.synchronizedMap(java.util.Map<K, V>) to provide synchronized access to a ReferenceMap.

doReadObject

protected void doReadObject(ObjectInputStream in)
                     throws IOException,
ClassNotFoundException

Replaces the superclass method to read the state of this class.

Serialization is not one of the JDK's nicest topics. Normal serialization will initialize the superclass before the subclass. Sometimes however, this isn't what you want, as in this case the put() method on read can be affected by subclass state.

The solution adopted here is to deserialize the state data of this class in this protected method. This method must be called by the readObject() of the first serializable subclass.

Subclasses may override if the subclass has a specific field that must be present before put() or calculateThreshold() will work correctly.

Overrides:

doReadObject in class AbstractHashedMap<K,V>

Parameters:

in - the input stream

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs while reading from the stream

ClassNotFoundException - if an object read from the stream can not be loaded

doWriteObject

protected void doWriteObject(ObjectOutputStream out)
                      throws IOException

Replaces the superclass method to store the state of this class.

Serialization is not one of the JDK's nicest topics. Normal serialization will initialize the superclass before the subclass. Sometimes however, this isn't what you want, as in this case the put() method on read can be affected by subclass state.

The solution adopted here is to serialize the state data of this class in this protected method. This method must be called by the writeObject() of the first serializable subclass.

Subclasses may override if they have a specific field that must be present on read before this implementation will work. Generally, the read determines what must be serialized here, if anything.

Overrides:

doWriteObject in class AbstractHashedMap<K,V>

Parameters:

out - the output stream

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs while writing to the stream

entrySet

public Set<Map.Entry<K,V>> entrySet()

Overrides:

entrySet in class AbstractHashedMap<K,V>
