  +--org.apache.commons.collections.SequencedHashMap

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Externalizable, java.util.Map, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

LRUMap

public class SequencedHashMap

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.util.Map, java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Externalizable

A map of objects whose mapping entries are sequenced based on the order in which they were added. This data structure has fast O(1) search time, deletion time, and insertion time.

Although this map is sequenced, it cannot implement List because of incompatible interface definitions. The remove methods in List and Map have different return values (see: List.remove(Object) and Map.remove(Object)).

This class is not thread safe. When a thread safe implementation is required, use Collections.synchronizedMap(Map) as it is documented, or use explicit synchronization controls.

SequencedHashMap

public SequencedHashMap(java.util.Map m)

Construct a new sequenced hash map and add all the elements in the specified map. The order in which the mappings in the specified map are added is defined by putAll(Map).

Method Detail

size

public int size()

Implements Map.size().

Specified by:

size in interface java.util.Map

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Implements Map.isEmpty().

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface java.util.Map

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(java.lang.Object key)

Implements Map.containsKey(Object).

Specified by:

containsKey in interface java.util.Map

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(java.lang.Object value)

Implements Map.containsValue(Object).

Specified by:

containsValue in interface java.util.Map

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.Object o)

Implements Map.get(Object).

Specified by:

get in interface java.util.Map

getFirst

public java.util.Map.Entry getFirst()

Return the entry for the "oldest" mapping. That is, return the Map.Entry for the key-value pair that was first put into the map when compared to all the other pairings in the map. This behavior is equivalent to using entrySet().iterator().next(), but this method provides an optimized implementation.

Returns:

The first entry in the sequence, or null if the map is empty.

getFirstKey

public java.lang.Object getFirstKey()

Return the key for the "oldest" mapping. That is, return the key for the mapping that was first put into the map when compared to all the other objects in the map. This behavior is equivalent to using getFirst().getKey(), but this method provides a slightly optimized implementation.

Returns:

The first key in the sequence, or null if the map is empty.

getFirstValue

public java.lang.Object getFirstValue()

Return the value for the "oldest" mapping. That is, return the value for the mapping that was first put into the map when compared to all the other objects in the map. This behavior is equivalent to using getFirst().getValue(), but this method provides a slightly optimized implementation.

Returns:

The first value in the sequence, or null if the map is empty.

getLast

public java.util.Map.Entry getLast()

Return the entry for the "newest" mapping. That is, return the Map.Entry for the key-value pair that was first put into the map when compared to all the other pairings in the map. The behavior is equivalent to:

    Object obj = null;
    Iterator iter = entrySet().iterator();
    while(iter.hasNext()) {
      obj = iter.next();
    }
    return (Map.Entry)obj;
  

However, the implementation of this method ensures an O(1) lookup of the last key rather than O(n).

Returns:

The last entry in the sequence, or null if the map is empty.

getLastKey

public java.lang.Object getLastKey()

Return the key for the "newest" mapping. That is, return the key for the mapping that was last put into the map when compared to all the other objects in the map. This behavior is equivalent to using getLast().getKey(), but this method provides a slightly optimized implementation.

Returns:

The last key in the sequence, or null if the map is empty.

getLastValue

public java.lang.Object getLastValue()

Return the value for the "newest" mapping. That is, return the value for the mapping that was last put into the map when compared to all the other objects in the map. This behavior is equivalent to using getLast().getValue(), but this method provides a slightly optimized implementation.

Returns:

The last value in the sequence, or null if the map is empty.

put

public java.lang.Object put(java.lang.Object key,
                            java.lang.Object value)

Implements Map.put(Object, Object).

Specified by:

put in interface java.util.Map

remove

public java.lang.Object remove(java.lang.Object key)

Implements Map.remove(Object).

Specified by:

remove in interface java.util.Map

putAll

public void putAll(java.util.Map t)

Adds all the mappings in the specified map to this map, replacing any mappings that already exist (as per Map.putAll(Map)). The order in which the entries are added is determined by the iterator returned from Map.entrySet() for the specified map.

Specified by:

putAll in interface java.util.Map

Parameters:

t - the mappings that should be added to this map.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if t is null

clear

public void clear()

Implements Map.clear().

Specified by:

clear in interface java.util.Map

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Implements Map.equals(Object).

Specified by:

equals in interface java.util.Map

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Implements Map.hashCode().

Specified by:

hashCode in interface java.util.Map

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Provides a string representation of the entries within the map. The format of the returned string may change with different releases, so this method is suitable for debugging purposes only. If a specific format is required, use entrySet().iterator() and iterate over the entries in the map formatting them as appropriate.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

keySet

public java.util.Set keySet()

Implements Map.keySet().

Specified by:

keySet in interface java.util.Map

values

public java.util.Collection values()

Implements Map.values().

Specified by:

values in interface java.util.Map

entrySet

public java.util.Set entrySet()

Implements Map.entrySet().

Specified by:

entrySet in interface java.util.Map

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Creates a shallow copy of this object, preserving the internal structure by copying only references. The keys and values themselves are not clone()'d. The cloned object maintains the same sequence.

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

A clone of this instance.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - if clone is not supported by a subclass.

get

public java.lang.Object get(int index)

Returns the key at the specified index.

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is < 0 or > the size of the map.

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue(int index)

Returns the value at the specified index.

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is < 0 or > the size of the map.

indexOf

public int indexOf(java.lang.Object key)

Returns the index of the specified key.

iterator

public java.util.Iterator iterator()

Returns a key iterator.

lastIndexOf

public int lastIndexOf(java.lang.Object key)

Returns the last index of the specified key.

sequence

public java.util.List sequence()

Returns a List view of the keys rather than a set view. The returned list is unmodifiable. This is required because changes to the values of the list (using ListIterator.set(Object)) will effectively remove the value from the list and reinsert that value at the end of the list, which is an unexpected side effect of changing the value of a list. This occurs because changing the key, changes when the mapping is added to the map and thus where it appears in the list.

An alternative to this method is to use keySet()

Returns:

The ordered list of keys.

See Also:

keySet()

remove

public java.lang.Object remove(int index)

Removes the element at the specified index.

Parameters:

index - The index of the object to remove.

Returns:

The previous value coressponding the key, or null if none existed.

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is < 0 or > the size of the map.

readExternal

public void readExternal(java.io.ObjectInput in)
                  throws java.io.IOException,
                         java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Deserializes this map from the given stream.

Specified by:

readExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable

Parameters:

in - the stream to deserialize from

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the stream raises it

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - if the stream raises it

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(java.io.ObjectOutput out)
                   throws java.io.IOException

Serializes this map to the given stream.

Specified by:

writeExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable

Parameters:

out - the stream to serialize to

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the stream raises it
