Class Overview

Provides a base decorator that enables additional functionality to be added to a SortedBidiMap via decoration.

Methods are forwarded directly to the decorated map.

This implementation does not perform any special processing with the map views. Instead it simply returns the inverse from the wrapped map. This may be undesirable, for example if you are trying to write a validating implementation it would provide a loophole around the validation. But, you might want that loophole, so this class is kept simple.

Public Constructors

public AbstractSortedBidiMapDecorator (SortedBidiMap map)

Constructor that wraps (not copies).

Parameters
map the map to decorate, must not be null
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the collection is null

Public Methods

public Comparator comparator ()

public SortedMap headMap (Object toKey)

public SortedBidiMap inverseSortedBidiMap ()

Gets a view of this map where the keys and values are reversed.

Changes to one map will be visible in the other and vice versa. This enables both directions of the map to be accessed as a SortedMap.

Implementations should seek to avoid creating a new object every time this method is called. See AbstractMap.values() etc. Calling this method on the inverse map should return the original.

The inverse map returned by inverseBidiMap() should be the same object as returned by this method.

Returns
  • an inverted bidirectional map

public SortedMap subMap (Object fromKey, Object toKey)

public SortedMap tailMap (Object fromKey)

Protected Methods

protected SortedBidiMap getSortedBidiMap ()

Gets the map being decorated.

Returns
  • the decorated map
