Class ImmutableMultiList

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Iterable, Collection, List, Set

    public class ImmutableMultiList
    extends AbstractList
    implements List, Set
    Implementation of the List interface in a read-only fashion based on a collection of arrays.

    This class also implements the Set interface, although the contents are not checked to determine whether each element is unique. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the elements are unique if the object is used as a Set.

    Note: while preserved for backward compatibility, as of Coherence 3.6, use of this class specifically as a List or a Set is deprecated. Instead, the getList(), getSet() methods should be used.

    • Constructor Detail

      • ImmutableMultiList

        public ImmutableMultiList​(Object[][] aao)
        Construct a List containing the elements of the specified array of Object arrays.
        Parameters:
        aao - the array of arrays backing the MultiList
      • ImmutableMultiList

        public ImmutableMultiList​(Collection collection)
        Construct a List containing the elements of the specified Collection of Object arrays.
        Parameters:

    • Method Detail

      • getList

        public List getList()
        Return a java.util.List view of this ImmutableMultiList.
        Returns:
        a List view of this ImmutableMultiList
      • getSet

        public Set getSet()
        Return a java.util.Set view of this ImmutableMultiList.

        Note: this method does not ensure that the underlying ImmutableMultiList adheres to the Set contract. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the elements are unique if the object is used as a SortedSet.

        a Set view of this ImmutableMultiList

      • indexOf

        public int indexOf​(Object o)
        Returns the index in this List of the first occurrence of the specified element, or -1 if this List does not contain this element. More formally, returns the lowest index i such that (o==null ? get(i)==null : o.equals(get(i))), or -1 if there is no such index.

        Returns:
        the index in this List of the first occurrence of the specified element, or -1 if this List does not contain this element.
      • lastIndexOf

        public int lastIndexOf​(Object o)
        Returns the index in this List of the last occurrence of the specified element, or -1 if this List does not contain this element. More formally, returns the highest index i such that (o==null ? get(i)==null : o.equals(get(i))), or -1 if there is no such index.

        Returns:
        the index in this List of the last occurrence of the specified element, or -1 if this List does not contain this element.
      • contains

        public boolean contains​(Object o)
        Returns true if this List contains the specified element. More formally, returns true if and only if this List contains at least one element e such that (o==null ? e==null : o.equals(e)).
        Specified by:
        contains in interface Collection
        Specified by:
        contains in interface List

        Returns:
        true if this List contains the specified element
      • toArray

        public Object[] toArray()
        Returns an array containing all of the elements in this List in the order that the elements occur in the List. The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by the List. The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.

        Specified by:
        toArray in interface Collection
        Specified by:
        toArray in interface List
        Specified by:

      • toArray

        public Object[] toArray​(Object[] ao)
        Returns an array with ao runtime type is that of the specified array and that contains all of the elements in this List. If the elements all fit in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this List.

        If the elements of the MultiList fit in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than the MultuList), the element in the array immediately following the end of the last element is set to null.

        Specified by:
        toArray in interface Collection
        Specified by:
        toArray in interface List
        Specified by:

        Returns:
        an array containing all the elements of the MultiList
        Throws:
        ArrayStoreException - if the runtime type of the specified array is not ao supertype of the runtime type of every element in this MultiList
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(Object o)
