Class StoredSortedValueSet<E>

All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, SequencedCollection<E>, SequencedSet<E>, Set<E>, SortedSet<E>

public class StoredSortedValueSet<E> extends StoredValueSet<E> implements SortedSet<E>
The SortedSet returned by Map.values() and which can also be constructed directly if a Map is not needed. Although this collection is a set it may contain duplicate values. Only if an entity value binding is used are all elements guaranteed to be unique.

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

  • Constructor Details

    • StoredSortedValueSet

      public StoredSortedValueSet(Database database, EntityBinding<E> valueEntityBinding, boolean writeAllowed)
      Creates a sorted value set entity view of a Database.
      Parameters:
      database - is the Database underlying the new collection.
      valueEntityBinding - is the binding used to translate between key/value buffers and entity value objects.
      writeAllowed - is true to create a read-write collection or false to create a read-only collection.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if formats are not consistently defined or a parameter is invalid.
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
  • Method Details

    • comparator

      public Comparator<? super E> 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<E>
      Returns:
      null.
    • first

      public E 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<E>
      Returns:
      the first element.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
    • last

      public E 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<E>
      Returns:
      the last element.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
    • headSet

      public SortedSet<E> headSet(E toValue)
      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toValue. 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<E>
      Parameters:
      toValue - the upper bound.
      Returns:
      the subset.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
    • headSet

      public SortedSet<E> headSet(E toValue, boolean toInclusive)
      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toValue, optionally including toValue. 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:
      toValue - is the upper bound.
      toInclusive - is true to include toValue.
      Returns:
      the subset.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
    • tailSet

      public SortedSet<E> tailSet(E fromValue)
      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are greater than or equal to fromValue. 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<E>
      Parameters:
      fromValue - 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<E> tailSet(E fromValue, boolean fromInclusive)
      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly greater than fromValue, optionally including fromValue. 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:
      fromValue - is the lower bound.
      fromInclusive - is true to include fromValue.
      Returns:
      the subset.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
    • subSet

      public SortedSet<E> subSet(E fromValue, E toValue)
      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements range from fromValue, inclusive, to toValue, 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<E>
      Parameters:
      fromValue - is the lower bound.
      toValue - 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<E> subSet(E fromValue, boolean fromInclusive, E toValue, boolean toInclusive)
      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly greater than fromValue and strictly less than toValue, optionally including fromValue and toValue. 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:
      fromValue - is the lower bound.
      fromInclusive - is true to include fromValue.
      toValue - is the upper bound.
      toInclusive - is true to include toValue.
      Returns:
      the subset.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C edition).
