Class SequenceValueLinkedHashSet<E extends Serializable>

java.lang.Object
  dk.rode.thesis.bridge.SequenceValueCollection<E,C>
      dk.rode.thesis.bridge.SequenceValueSet<E,LinkedHashSet<E>>
          dk.rode.thesis.bridge.SequenceValueLinkedHashSet<E>

Type Parameters:

E - The type of serializable values stored in this value set.

All Implemented Interfaces:

SequenceValueGenerator<E>, Copyable<SequenceValueGenerator<E>>, Stringable<SequenceValueGenerator<E>>

@Participant(value="ConcreteImplementor")
public class SequenceValueLinkedHashSet<E extends Serializable>
extends SequenceValueSet<E,LinkedHashSet<E>>

A sequence value linked hash set stores sequence values in a java.util.LinkedHashSet instance.

A sequence value linked hash set is always ordered, unsorted, and contains no duplicates.

Constructor Detail

SequenceValueLinkedHashSet

public SequenceValueLinkedHashSet(Class<E> type,
                                  LinkedHashSet<E> values)

Constructor, which creates this sequence value linked hash set to use the LinkedHashSet instance supplied as values.

Modifying values externally will affect this value set and should not be performed. The result of doing so is undefined - but never good.

Parameters:

type - The type of values stored in this value set (and values); cannot be null.

values - The actual LinkedHashSet instance storing the sequence values; cannot be null, empty, or contain null values.

Throws:

NullPointerException - If either argument is null.

IllegalArgumentException - If values is empty, contain a null value.

SequenceValueLinkedHashSet

private SequenceValueLinkedHashSet(Class<E> type,
                                   LinkedHashSet<E> values,
                                   int number)

Constructor, which creates this sequence value linked hash set to use the LinkedHashSet instance supplied as values.

Modifying values externally will affect this value set and should not be performed. The result of doing so is undefined - but never good.

Parameters:

type - The type of values stored in this value set (and values); cannot be null.

values - The actual LinkedHashSet instance storing the sequence values; cannot be null, empty, or contain null values.

number - The number pointing the the number'th value to be returned by the next call to SequenceValueSet.get().

Throws:

NullPointerException - If either argument is null.

IllegalArgumentException - If values is empty, contain a null value, or if number is illegal.

Method Detail

copy

public SequenceValueLinkedHashSet<E> copy()

Description copied from class: SequenceValueCollection

Performs a deep copy of this generator.

The size, ordered, sorted, and duplicate properties are adhered to by the returned clone.

The work in copying this collection is proportional with the number of values contained, and is thus more expensive the larger this collection is!

Specified by:

copy in interface SequenceValueGenerator<E extends Serializable>

Specified by:

copy in interface Copyable<SequenceValueGenerator<E extends Serializable>>

Specified by:

copy in class SequenceValueCollection<E extends Serializable,LinkedHashSet<E extends Serializable>>

Returns:

A copy of this value collection; never null.

ordered

public boolean ordered()

Returns true.

Returns:

True.

sorted

public boolean sorted()

Returns false.

Returns:

False.
