Interface ProxyMap

All Superinterfaces:

java.util.Map, Proxy

All Known Implementing Classes:

ProxyHashMap, ProxyHashtable, ProxyProperties, ProxyTreeMap

public interface ProxyMap

extends Proxy, java.util.Map

Interface implemented by all proxies on Map types.

Method Summary

java.util.Comparator	getComparator() Return the comparator used in this map, or null if it is unordered or uses natural ordering.
java.util.Map	getCopy(java.util.Map orig) This method should return a copy of the given map; the copy should be of the same class as the superclass of this collection.
com.solarmetric.rd.kodo.util.ProxyMap	newInstance(java.lang.Class keyType, java.lang.Class valueType, java.util.Map 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.ProxyMap newInstance(java.lang.Class keyType,
                                                         java.lang.Class valueType,
                                                         java.util.Map 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.Map getCopy(java.util.Map orig)

This method should return a copy of the given map; 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 map, or null if it is unordered or uses natural ordering.
