Method Detail

• resolveCollision

  void resolveCollision(CompositeMap composite,
                      Map existing,
                      Map added,
                      Collection intersect)

  Called when adding a new Composited Map results in a key collision.

  Parameters:

  composite - the CompositeMap with the collision

  existing - the Map already in the composite which contains the offending key

  added - the Map being added

  intersect - the intersection of the keysets of the existing and added maps

• put

  Object put(CompositeMap map,
           Map[] composited,
           Object key,
           Object value)

  Called when the CompositeMap.put() method is invoked.

  Parameters:

  map - the CompositeMap which is being modified

  composited - array of Maps in the CompositeMap being modified

  key - key with which the specified value is to be associated.

  value - value to be associated with the specified key.

  Returns:

  previous value associated with specified key, or null if there was no mapping for key. A null return can also indicate that the map previously associated null with the specified key, if the implementation supports null values.

  Throws:

  UnsupportedOperationException - if not defined

  ClassCastException - if the class of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map.

  IllegalArgumentException - if some aspect of this key or value prevents it from being stored in this map.

  NullPointerException - this map does not permit null keys or values, and the specified key or value is null.

• putAll

  void putAll(CompositeMap map,
            Map[] composited,
            Map mapToAdd)

  Called when the CompositeMap.putAll() method is invoked.

  Parameters:

  map - the CompositeMap which is being modified

  composited - array of Maps in the CompositeMap being modified

  mapToAdd - Mappings to be stored in this CompositeMap

  Throws:

  UnsupportedOperationException - if not defined

  ClassCastException - if the class of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map.

  IllegalArgumentException - if some aspect of this key or value prevents it from being stored in this map.

  NullPointerException - this map does not permit null keys or values, and the specified key or value is null.
