Class TransformedQueue<E>

Type Parameters:
E - the type of elements held in this queue
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Queue<E>

public class TransformedQueue<E> extends TransformedCollection<E> implements Queue<E>
Decorates another Queue to transform objects that are added.

The add/offer 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.

      protected TransformedQueue(Queue<E> queue, Transformer<? super E,? extends E> transformer)
      Constructor that wraps (not copies).

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

      public static <E> TransformedQueue<E> transformedQueue(Queue<E> queue, Transformer<? super E,? extends E> transformer)
      Factory method to create a transforming queue that will transform existing contents of the specified queue.

      Type Parameters:
      E - the type of the elements in the queue
      Parameters:
      queue - the queue to decorate, must not be null
      transformer - the transformer to use for conversion, must not be null
      Returns:
      a new transformed Queue
