Class StoredEntrySet

java.lang.Object
  extended bycom.sleepycat.collections.StoredContainer

All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Collection, Set
Direct Known Subclasses:
StoredSortedEntrySet

public class StoredEntrySet
extends StoredCollection
implements Set

The Set returned by Map.entrySet(). This class may not be instantiated directly. Contrary to what is stated by Map.entrySet() this class does support the 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:


Method Summary

mapEntry - must be a Map.Entry instance.
Returns:
true if the key-value pair was added to the set (and was not previously present).
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - if the collection is read-only.
ClassCastException - if the mapEntry is not a Map.Entry instance.
RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

remove

public boolean remove(Object mapEntry)
Removes the specified element from this set if it is present (optional operation). This method conforms to the Set.remove(java.lang.Object) interface.

Specified by:
remove in interface Set
Parameters:
mapEntry - is a Map.Entry instance to be removed.
Returns:
true if the key-value pair was removed from the set, or false if the mapEntry is not a Map.Entry instance or is not present in the set.
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - if the collection is read-only.
RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

contains

public boolean contains(Object mapEntry)
Returns true if this set contains the specified element. This method conforms to the Set.contains(java.lang.Object) interface.

Specified by:
contains in interface Set
Parameters:
mapEntry - is a Map.Entry instance to be checked.
Returns:
true if the key-value pair is present in the set, or false if the mapEntry is not a Map.Entry instance or is not present in the set.
Throws:
RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

toString

public String toString()
