Public Methods

public void clear ()

public static Map decorate (Map map)

Factory method to create an unmodifiable map.

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

public Set entrySet ()

public Set keySet ()

public MapIterator mapIterator ()

Obtains a MapIterator over the map.

A map iterator is an efficient way of iterating over maps. There is no need to access the entry set or cast to Map Entry objects. 

 IterableMap map = new HashedMap();
 MapIterator it = map.mapIterator();
 while (it.hasNext()) {
   Object key = it.next();
   Object value = it.getValue();
   it.setValue("newValue");
 }

Returns
  • a map iterator

public Object put (Object key, Object value)

public void putAll (Map mapToCopy)

public Object remove (Object key)

public Collection values ()
