Class MapEventFilter<K,​V>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ExternalizableLite, PortableObject, Filter<MapEvent<K,​V>>, Serializable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    CacheEventFilter
    public class MapEventFilter<K,​V>
extends ExternalizableHelper
implements Filter<MapEvent<K,​V>>, ExternalizableLite, PortableObject
    Filter which evaluates the content of a MapEvent object according to the specified criteria. This filter is intended to be used by various ObservableMap listeners that are interested in particular subsets of MapEvent notifications emitted by the map.

    Usage examples:

    • a filter that evaluates to true if an Employee object is inserted into a cache with a value of Married property set to true. 
         new MapEventFilter(MapEventFilter.E_INSERT,
       new EqualsFilter("isMarried", Boolean.TRUE));
    • a filter that evaluates to true if any object is removed from a cache. 
         new MapEventFilter(MapEventFilter.E_DELETED);
    • a filter that evaluates to true if there is an update to an Employee object where either an old or new value of LastName property equals to "Smith" 
         new MapEventFilter(MapEventFilter.E_UPDATED,
       new EqualsFilter("LastName", "Smith"));
    • a filter that is used to keep a cached keySet result based on some map filter up-to-date. 
         final Set    setKeys   = new HashSet();
   final Filter filterEvt = new MapEventFilter(filterMap);
   MapListener  listener  = new AbstractMapListener()
       {
       public void entryInserted(MapEvent evt)
           {
           setKeys.add(evt.getKey());
           }

       public void entryDeleted(MapEvent evt)
           {
           setKeys.remove(evt.getKey());
           }
       };

   map.addMapListener(listener, filterEvt, true);
   setKeys.addAll(map.keySet(filterMap));

    • Field Detail

      • E_INSERTED

        public static final int E_INSERTED
        This value indicates that ENTRY_INSERTED events should be evaluated. The event will be fired if there is no filter specified or the filter evaluates to true for a new value.
        See Also:
        Constant Field Values

      • E_UPDATED

        public static final int E_UPDATED
        This value indicates that ENTRY_UPDATED events should be evaluated. The event will be fired if there is no filter specified or the filter evaluates to true when applied to either old or new value.
        See Also:
        Constant Field Values

      • E_DELETED

        public static final int E_DELETED
        This value indicates that ENTRY_DELETED events should be evaluated. The event will be fired if there is no filter specified or the filter evaluates to true for an old value.
        See Also:
        Constant Field Values

      • E_UPDATED_ENTERED

        public static final int E_UPDATED_ENTERED
        This value indicates that ENTRY_UPDATED events should be evaluated, but only if filter evaluation is false for the old value and true for the new value. This corresponds to an item that was not in a keySet filter result changing such that it would now be in that keySet filter result.
        Since:

        Constant Field Values

      • E_UPDATED_LEFT

        public static final int E_UPDATED_LEFT
        This value indicates that ENTRY_UPDATED events should be evaluated, but only if filter evaluation is true for the old value and false for the new value. This corresponds to an item that was in a keySet filter result changing such that it would no longer be in that keySet filter result.
        Since:
        Coherence 3.1

        Constant Field Values

      • E_UPDATED_WITHIN

        public static final int E_UPDATED_WITHIN
        This value indicates that ENTRY_UPDATED events should be evaluated, but only if filter evaluation is true for both the old and the new value. This corresponds to an item that was in a keySet filter result changing but not leaving the keySet filter result.

      • E_ALL

        public static final int E_ALL
        This value indicates that all events should be evaluated.

      • m_nMask

        protected int m_nMask
        The event mask.

        protected Filter<V> m_filter
        The event value(s) filter.

    • Constructor Detail

      • MapEventFilter

        public MapEventFilter()
        Default constructor (necessary for the ExternalizableLite interface).

      • MapEventFilter

        public MapEventFilter​(int nMask)
        Construct a MapEventFilter that evaluates MapEvent objects based on the specified combination of event types.

        Using this constructor is equivalent to: new MapEventFilter(nMask, null);

        Parameters:
        nMask - any combination of E_INSERTED, E_UPDATED and E_DELETED, E_UPDATED_ENTERED, E_UPDATED_WITHIN, E_UPDATED_LEFT
        Since:
        Coherence 3.1

      • MapEventFilter

        public MapEventFilter​(Filter<V> filter)
        Construct a MapEventFilter that evaluates MapEvent objects that would affect the results of a keySet filter issued by a previous call to QueryMap.keySet(com.tangosol.util.Filter). It is possible to easily implement continuous query functionality.

        Using this constructor is equivalent to: new MapEventFilter(E_KEYSET, filter);

        Parameters:
        filter - the filter passed previously to a keySet() query method
