Class StoredSortedEntrySet

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Collection, Set, SortedSet

public class StoredSortedEntrySet

extends StoredEntrySet

implements SortedSet

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.lang.Object) and StoredCollection.addAll(java.util.Collection) methods.

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

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 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.

• headSet(Object, boolean)
• tailSet(Object, boolean)
• subSet(Object, boolean, Object, boolean)

Method Summary

Comparator	comparator() Returns null since comparators are not supported.
Object	first() Returns the first (lowest) element currently in this sorted set.
SortedSet	headSet(Object toMapEntry) Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toMapEntry.
SortedSet	headSet(Object toMapEntry, boolean toInclusive) Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toMapEntry, optionally including toMapEntry.
Object	last() Returns the last (highest) element currently in this sorted set.
SortedSet	subSet(Object fromMapEntry, boolean fromInclusive, Object 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.
SortedSet	subSet(Object fromMapEntry, Object toMapEntry) Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements range from fromMapEntry, inclusive, to toMapEntry, exclusive.
SortedSet	tailSet(Object fromMapEntry) Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are greater than or equal to fromMapEntry.
SortedSet	tailSet(Object fromMapEntry, boolean fromInclusive) Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly greater than fromMapEntry, optionally including fromMapEntry.

Method Detail

comparator

public Comparator 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

Returns:

null.

first

public Object 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

Returns:

the first element.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

last

public Object 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

Returns:

the last element.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

headSet

public SortedSet headSet(Object 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(java.lang.Object) 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

Parameters:

toMapEntry - the upper bound.

Returns:

the subset.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

headSet

public SortedSet headSet(Object 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 DatabaseException is thrown.

tailSet

public SortedSet tailSet(Object 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(java.lang.Object) 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

Parameters:

fromMapEntry - is the lower bound.

Returns:

the subset.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

tailSet

public SortedSet tailSet(Object 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 DatabaseException is thrown.

subSet

public SortedSet subSet(Object fromMapEntry,
                        Object 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(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object) 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

Parameters:

fromMapEntry - is the lower bound.

toMapEntry - is the upper bound.

Returns:

the subset.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

subSet

public SortedSet subSet(Object fromMapEntry,
                        boolean fromInclusive,
                        Object 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 DatabaseException is thrown.
