Class StoredSortedEntrySet<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Iterable<Map.Entry<K,V>>, Collection<Map.Entry<K,V>>, SequencedCollection<Map.Entry<K,V>>, SequencedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>>, Set<Map.Entry<K,V>>, SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>>

public class StoredSortedEntrySet<K,V> extends StoredEntrySet<K,V> implements SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>>
The SortedSet returned by Map.entrySet(). This class may not be instantiated directly. Contrary to what is stated by Map.entrySet() this class does support the StoredEntrySet.add(java.util.Map.Entry<K, V>) and StoredCollection.addAll(java.util.Collection<? extends E>) methods.

The Map.Entry.setValue(V) method of the Map.Entry objects that are returned by this class and its iterators behaves just as the StoredIterator.set(E) method does.

In addition to the standard SortedSet methods, this class provides the following methods for stored sorted sets only. Note that the use of these methods is not compatible with the standard Java collections interface.

  • Method Details

    • comparator

      public Comparator<? super Map.Entry<K,V>> comparator()
      Returns null since comparators are not supported. The natural ordering of a stored collection is data byte order, whether the data classes implement the Comparable interface or not. This method does not conform to the SortedSet.comparator() interface.
      Specified by:
      comparator in interface SortedSet<K>
      Returns:
      null.
    • first

      public Map.Entry<K,V> first()
      Returns the first (lowest) element currently in this sorted set. This method conforms to the SortedSet.first() interface.
      Specified by:
      first in interface SortedSet<K>
      Returns:
      the first element.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
    • last

      public Map.Entry<K,V> last()
      Returns the last (highest) element currently in this sorted set. This method conforms to the SortedSet.last() interface.
      Specified by:
      last in interface SortedSet<K>
      Returns:
      the last element.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
    • headSet

      public SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>> headSet(Map.Entry<K,V> toMapEntry)
      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toMapEntry. This method conforms to the SortedSet.headSet(E) interface.

      Note that the return value is a StoredCollection and must be treated as such; for example, its iterators must be explicitly closed.

      Specified by:
      headSet in interface SortedSet<K>
      Parameters:
      toMapEntry - the upper bound.
      Returns:
      the subset.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
    • headSet

      public SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>> headSet(Map.Entry<K,V> toMapEntry, boolean toInclusive)
      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toMapEntry, optionally including toMapEntry. This method does not exist in the standard SortedSet interface.

      Note that the return value is a StoredCollection and must be treated as such; for example, its iterators must be explicitly closed.

      Parameters:
      toMapEntry - is the upper bound.
      toInclusive - is true to include toMapEntry.
      Returns:
      the subset.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
    • tailSet

      public SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>> tailSet(Map.Entry<K,V> fromMapEntry)
      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are greater than or equal to fromMapEntry. This method conforms to the SortedSet.tailSet(E) interface.

      Note that the return value is a StoredCollection and must be treated as such; for example, its iterators must be explicitly closed.

      Specified by:
      tailSet in interface SortedSet<K>
      Parameters:
      fromMapEntry - is the lower bound.
      Returns:
      the subset.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
    • tailSet

      public SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>> tailSet(Map.Entry<K,V> fromMapEntry, boolean fromInclusive)
      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly greater than fromMapEntry, optionally including fromMapEntry. This method does not exist in the standard SortedSet interface.

      Note that the return value is a StoredCollection and must be treated as such; for example, its iterators must be explicitly closed.

      Parameters:
      fromMapEntry - is the lower bound.
      fromInclusive - is true to include fromMapEntry.
      Returns:
      the subset.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
    • subSet

      public SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>> subSet(Map.Entry<K,V> fromMapEntry, Map.Entry<K,V> toMapEntry)
      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements range from fromMapEntry, inclusive, to toMapEntry, exclusive. This method conforms to the SortedSet.subSet(E, E) interface.

      Note that the return value is a StoredCollection and must be treated as such; for example, its iterators must be explicitly closed.

      Specified by:
      subSet in interface SortedSet<K>
      Parameters:
      fromMapEntry - is the lower bound.
      toMapEntry - is the upper bound.
      Returns:
      the subset.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
    • subSet

      public SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>> subSet(Map.Entry<K,V> fromMapEntry, boolean fromInclusive, Map.Entry<K,V> toMapEntry, boolean toInclusive)
      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly greater than fromMapEntry and strictly less than toMapEntry, optionally including fromMapEntry and toMapEntry. This method does not exist in the standard SortedSet interface.

      Note that the return value is a StoredCollection and must be treated as such; for example, its iterators must be explicitly closed.

      Parameters:
      fromMapEntry - is the lower bound.
      fromInclusive - is true to include fromMapEntry.
      toMapEntry - is the upper bound.
      toInclusive - is true to include toMapEntry.
      Returns:
      the subset.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
