Class StoredMap

java.lang.Object
  com.sleepycat.collections.StoredContainer
      com.sleepycat.collections.StoredMap

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Map

Direct Known Subclasses:

StoredSortedMap

public class StoredMap

extends StoredContainer

implements Map

A Map view of a Database.

Note that this class does not conform to the standard Java collections interface in the following ways:

• The StoredContainer.size() method always throws UnsupportedOperationException because, for performance reasons, databases do not maintain their total record count.
• All iterators must be explicitly closed using StoredIterator.close() or StoredIterator.close(java.util.Iterator) to release the underlying database cursor resources.

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

• duplicates(Object)
• append(Object)

Method Detail

get

public Object get(Object key)

Returns the value to which this map maps the specified key. If duplicates are allowed, this method returns the first duplicate, in the order in which duplicates are configured, that maps to the specified key. This method conforms to the Map.get(java.lang.Object) interface.

Specified by:

get in interface Map

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

put

public Object put(Object key,
                  Object value)

Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map (optional operation). If duplicates are allowed and the specified key is already mapped to a value, this method appends the new duplicate after the existing duplicates. This method conforms to the Map.put(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object) interface.

The key parameter may be null if an entity binding is used and the key will be derived from the value (entity) parameter. If an entity binding is used and the key parameter is non-null, then the key parameter must be equal to the key derived from the value parameter.

Specified by:

put in interface Map

Returns:

the previous value associated with specified key, or null if there was no mapping for the key or if duplicates are allowed.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the collection is indexed, or if the collection is read-only.

IllegalArgumentException - if an entity value binding is used and the primary key of the value given is different than the existing stored primary key.

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

append

public Object append(Object value)

Appends a given value returning the newly assigned key. If a PrimaryKeyAssigner is associated with Store for this map, it will be used to assigned the returned key. Otherwise the Store must be a QUEUE or RECNO database and the next available record number is assigned as the key. This method does not exist in the standard Map interface.

Note that for the JE product, QUEUE and RECNO databases are not supported, and therefore a PrimaryKeyAssigner must be associated with the map in order to call this method.

Parameters:

value - the value to be appended.

Returns:

the assigned key.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the collection is indexed, or if the collection is read-only, or if the Store has no PrimaryKeyAssigner and is not a QUEUE or RECNO database.

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

remove

public Object remove(Object key)

Removes the mapping for this key from this map if present (optional operation). If duplicates are allowed, this method removes all duplicates for the given key. This method conforms to the Map.remove(java.lang.Object) interface.

Specified by:

remove in interface Map

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the collection is read-only.

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(Object key)

Returns true if this map contains the specified key. This method conforms to the Map.containsKey(java.lang.Object) interface.

Specified by:

containsKey in interface Map

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(Object value)

Returns true if this map contains the specified value. When an entity binding is used, this method returns whether the map contains the primary key and value mapping of the entity. This method conforms to the Map.containsValue(java.lang.Object) interface.

Specified by:

containsValue in interface Map

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

putAll

public void putAll(Map map)

Copies all of the mappings from the specified map to this map (optional operation). When duplicates are allowed, the mappings in the specified map are effectively appended to the existing mappings in this map, that is no previously existing mappings in this map are replaced. This method conforms to the Map.putAll(java.util.Map) interface.

Specified by:

putAll in interface Map

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the collection is read-only, or if the collection is indexed.

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

keySet

public Set keySet()

Returns a set view of the keys contained in this map. A SortedSet is returned if the map is ordered. The returned collection will be read-only if the map is read-only. This method conforms to the Map.keySet() 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:

keySet in interface Map

Returns:

a StoredKeySet or a StoredSortedKeySet for this map.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

See Also:

StoredContainer.isOrdered(), StoredContainer.isWriteAllowed()

entrySet

public Set entrySet()

Returns a set view of the mappings contained in this map. A SortedSet is returned if the map is ordered. The returned collection will be read-only if the map is read-only. This method conforms to the Map.entrySet() 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:

entrySet in interface Map

Returns:

a StoredEntrySet or a StoredSortedEntrySet for this map.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

See Also:

StoredContainer.isOrdered(), StoredContainer.isWriteAllowed()

values

public Collection values()

Returns a collection view of the values contained in this map. A SortedSet is returned if the map is ordered and the value/entity binding can be used to derive the map's key from its value/entity object. The returned collection will be read-only if the map is read-only. This method conforms to the Map.values() 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:

values in interface Map

Returns:

a StoredValueSet or a StoredSortedValueSet for this map.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

See Also:

StoredContainer.isOrdered(), StoredContainer.isWriteAllowed()

duplicates

public Collection duplicates(Object key)

Returns a new collection containing the values mapped to the given key in this map. This collection's iterator() method is particularly useful for iterating over the duplicates for a given key, since this is not supported by the standard Map interface. This method does not exist in the standard Map interface.

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

If no mapping for the given key is present, an empty collection is returned. If duplicates are not allowed, at most a single value will be in the collection returned. If duplicates are allowed, the returned collection's add() method may be used to add values for the given key.

Parameters:

key - is the key for which values are to be returned.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Compares the specified object with this map for equality. A value comparison is performed by this method and the stored values are compared rather than calling the equals() method of each element. This method conforms to the Map.equals(java.lang.Object) interface.

Specified by:

equals in interface Map

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in interface Map

toString

public String toString()

Converts the map to a string representation for debugging. WARNING: All mappings will be converted to strings and returned and therefore the returned string may be very large.

Returns:

the string representation.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.
