Class TransformedSortedBag<E>

  • Type Parameters:
    E - the type of elements in this bag
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Iterable<E>, java.util.Collection<E>, Bag<E>, SortedBag<E>

    public class TransformedSortedBag<E>
    extends TransformedBag<E>
    implements SortedBag<E>
    Decorates another SortedBag to transform objects that are added.

    The add methods are affected by this class. Thus objects must be removed or searched for using their transformed form. For example, if the transformation converts Strings to Integers, you must use the Integer form to remove objects.

    This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

        public static <E> TransformedSortedBag<E> transformingSortedBag​(SortedBag<E> bag,
                                                                        Transformer<? super E,​? extends E> transformer)
        Factory method to create a transforming sorted bag.

        If there are any elements already in the bag being decorated, they are NOT transformed. Contrast this with transformedSortedBag(SortedBag, Transformer).

        Type Parameters:
        E - the type of the elements in the bag
        Parameters:
        bag - the bag to decorate, must not be null
        transformer - the transformer to use for conversion, must not be null
        Returns:
        a new transformed SortedBag
        Throws:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if bag or transformer is null

        public static <E> TransformedSortedBag<E> transformedSortedBag​(SortedBag<E> bag,
                                                                       Transformer<? super E,​? extends E> transformer)
        Factory method to create a transforming sorted bag that will transform existing contents of the specified sorted bag.

        If there are any elements already in the bag being decorated, they will be transformed by this method. Contrast this with transformingSortedBag(SortedBag, Transformer).

        Type Parameters:
        E - the type of the elements in the bag
        Parameters:
        bag - the bag to decorate, must not be null
        transformer - the transformer to use for conversion, must not be null
        Returns:
        a new transformed SortedBag
        Throws:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if bag or transformer is null
