Class TransformedMap<K,V>

Type Parameters:
K - the type of the keys in this map
V - the type of the values in this map
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Map<K,V>, Get<K,V>, IterableGet<K,V>, IterableMap<K,V>, Put<K,V>
Direct Known Subclasses:
TransformedSortedMap

public class TransformedMap<K,V> extends AbstractMapDecorator<K,V> implements Serializable
Decorates another Map 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.

Note that TransformedMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe. If you wish to use this map from multiple threads concurrently, you must use appropriate synchronization. The simplest approach is to wrap this map using Collections.synchronizedMap(Map). This class may throw exceptions when accessed by concurrent threads without synchronization.

This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

Since:
3.0

      protected TransformedMap(Map<K,V> map, Transformer<? super K,? extends K> keyTransformer, Transformer<? super V,? extends V> valueTransformer)
      Constructor that wraps (not copies).

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

      Parameters:
      map - the map to decorate, must not be null
      keyTransformer - the transformer to use for key conversion, null means no conversion
      valueTransformer - the transformer to use for value conversion, null means no conversion
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if map is null

    • transformedMap

      public static <K, V> TransformedMap<K,V> transformedMap(Map<K,V> map, Transformer<? super K,? extends K> keyTransformer, Transformer<? super V,? extends V> valueTransformer)
      Factory method to create a transforming map that will transform existing contents of the specified map.

      If there are any elements already in the map being decorated, they will be transformed by this method. Contrast this with transformingMap(Map, Transformer, Transformer).

      Type Parameters:
      K - the key type
      V - the value type
      Parameters:
      map - the map to decorate, must not be null
      keyTransformer - the transformer to use for key conversion, null means no transformation
      valueTransformer - the transformer to use for value conversion, null means no transformation
      Returns:
      a new transformed map
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if map is null
      Since:
      4.0
    • transformingMap

      public static <K, V> TransformedMap<K,V> transformingMap(Map<K,V> map, Transformer<? super K,? extends K> keyTransformer, Transformer<? super V,? extends V> valueTransformer)
      Factory method to create a transforming map.

      If there are any elements already in the map being decorated, they are NOT transformed. Contrast this with transformedMap(Map, Transformer, Transformer).

      Type Parameters:
      K - the key type
      V - the value type
      Parameters:
      map - the map to decorate, must not be null
      keyTransformer - the transformer to use for key conversion, null means no transformation
      valueTransformer - the transformer to use for value conversion, null means no transformation
      Returns:
      a new transformed map
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if map is null
      Since:
      4.0
    • checkSetValue

      protected V checkSetValue(V value)
      Override to transform the value when using setValue.
      Parameters:
      value - the value to transform
      Returns:
      the transformed value
      Since:
      3.1
    • isSetValueChecking

      protected boolean isSetValueChecking()
      Override to only return true when there is a value transformer.
      Returns:
      true if a value transformer is in use
      Since:
      3.1
    • put

      public V put(K key, V value)
      Description copied from interface: Put
      Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map.

      Note that the return type is Object, rather than V as in the Map interface. See the class Javadoc for further info.

      Specified by:
      put in interface Map<K,V>
      Specified by:
      put in interface Put<K,V>
      Overrides:
      put in class AbstractMapDecorator<K,V>
      Parameters:
      key - key with which the specified value is to be associated
      value - value to be associated with the specified key
      Returns:
      the previous value associated with key, or null if there was no mapping for key. (A null return can also indicate that the map previously associated null with key, if the implementation supports null values.)

    • putAll

      public void putAll(Map<? extends K,? extends V> mapToCopy)
      Description copied from interface: Put
      Copies all of the mappings from the specified map to this map.
      Specified by:
      putAll in interface Map<K,V>
      Specified by:
      putAll in interface Put<K,V>
      Overrides:
      putAll in class AbstractMapDecorator<K,V>
      Parameters:
      mapToCopy - mappings to be stored in this map

    • transformKey

      protected K transformKey(K object)
      Transforms a key.

      The transformer itself may throw an exception if necessary.

      the transformed object
    • transformMap

      protected Map<K,V> transformMap(Map<? extends K,? extends V> map)
      Transforms a map.

      map - the map to transform
      Returns:
      the transformed object
    • transformValue

      protected V transformValue(V object)

      The transformer itself may throw an exception if necessary.

      Parameters:
      object - the object to transform

      the transformed object
    • entrySet

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