Interface ProxyCollection

All Superinterfaces:

java.util.Collection, Proxy

All Known Implementing Classes:

ProxyArrayList, ProxyHashSet, ProxyLinkedList, ProxyTreeSet, ProxyVector

public interface ProxyCollection

extends Proxy, java.util.Collection

Interface implemented by all proxies on Collection types.

Method Summary

java.util.Comparator	getComparator() Return the comparator used in this collection, or null if it is unordered or uses natural ordering.
java.util.Collection	getCopy(java.util.Collection orig) This method should return a copy of the given collection; the copy should be of the same class as the superclass of this collection.
com.solarmetric.rd.kodo.util.ProxyCollection	newInstance(java.lang.Class elementType, java.util.Collection contents, java.util.Comparator compare) This method should return a new proxy of the same concrete type as the implementing class.

Method Detail

newInstance

public com.solarmetric.rd.kodo.util.ProxyCollection newInstance(java.lang.Class elementType,
                                                                java.util.Collection contents,
                                                                java.util.Comparator compare)

This method should return a new proxy of the same concrete type as the implementing class. Used by the ProxyManager factories: one template instance of each type is created for the purpose of producing new instances via this method. Overcomes the performance penalties of reflection.

getCopy

public java.util.Collection getCopy(java.util.Collection orig)

This method should return a copy of the given collection; the copy should be of the same class as the superclass of this collection.

getComparator

public java.util.Comparator getComparator()

Return the comparator used in this collection, or null if it is unordered or uses natural ordering.
