Class TransformedSet<E>

Type Parameters:
E - the type of the elements in this set
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Set<E>
Direct Known Subclasses:
TransformedSortedSet

public class TransformedSet<E> extends TransformedCollection<E> implements Set<E>
Decorates another Set 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.

3.0

      protected TransformedSet(Set<E> set, Transformer<? super E,? extends E> transformer)
      Constructor that wraps (not copies).

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

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

    • transformedSet

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

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

      Type Parameters:
      E - the element type
      Parameters:
      set - the set to decorate, must not be null
      transformer - the transformer to use for conversion, must not be null
      Returns:
      a new transformed set
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if set or transformer is null

    • transformingSet

      public static <E> TransformedSet<E> transformingSet(Set<E> set, Transformer<? super E,? extends E> transformer)
      Factory method to create a transforming set.

      If there are any elements already in the set being decorated, they are NOT transformed. Contrast this with transformedSet(Set, Transformer).

      Type Parameters:
      E - the element type
      Parameters:
      set - the set to decorate, must not be null
      transformer - the transformer to use for conversion, must not be null
      Returns:
      a new transformed set
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if set or transformer is null
