public class StoredSortedValueSet

extends StoredValueSet

implements SortedSet

The SortedSet returned by Map.values() and which can also be constructed directly if a Map is not needed. Although this collection is a set it may contain duplicate values. Only if an entity value binding is used are all elements guaranteed to be unique.

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

• The StoredValueSet.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 value 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)

Constructor Summary

StoredSortedValueSet(Database database, EntityBinding valueEntityBinding, boolean writeAllowed)
Creates a sorted value set entity view of a Database.

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 toValue) Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toValue.
SortedSet	headSet(Object toValue, boolean toInclusive) Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toValue, optionally including toValue.
Object	last() Returns the last (highest) element currently in this sorted set.
SortedSet	subSet(Object fromValue, boolean fromInclusive, Object toValue, boolean toInclusive) Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly greater than fromValue and strictly less than toValue, optionally including fromValue and toValue.
SortedSet	subSet(Object fromValue, Object toValue) Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements range from fromValue, inclusive, to toValue, exclusive.
SortedSet	tailSet(Object fromValue) Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are greater than or equal to fromValue.
SortedSet	tailSet(Object fromValue, boolean fromInclusive) Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly greater than fromValue, optionally including fromValue.

Constructor Detail

StoredSortedValueSet

public StoredSortedValueSet(Database database,
                            EntityBinding valueEntityBinding,
                            boolean writeAllowed)

Creates a sorted value set entity view of a Database.

Parameters:

database - is the Database underlying the new collection.

valueEntityBinding - is the binding used to translate between key/value buffers and entity value objects.

writeAllowed - is true to create a read-write collection or false to create a read-only collection.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if formats are not consistently defined or a parameter is invalid.

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

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 toValue)

Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toValue. This method conforms to the SortedSet.headSet(java.lang.Object) interface.

Specified by:

headSet in interface SortedSet

Parameters:

toValue - the upper bound.

Returns:

the subset.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

headSet

public SortedSet headSet(Object toValue,
                         boolean toInclusive)

Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toValue, optionally including toValue. This method does not exist in the standard SortedSet interface.

Parameters:

toValue - is the upper bound.

toInclusive - is true to include toValue.

Returns:

the subset.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

tailSet

public SortedSet tailSet(Object fromValue)

Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are greater than or equal to fromValue. This method conforms to the SortedSet.tailSet(java.lang.Object) interface.

Specified by:

tailSet in interface SortedSet

Parameters:

fromValue - is the lower bound.

Returns:

the subset.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

tailSet

public SortedSet tailSet(Object fromValue,
                         boolean fromInclusive)

Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly greater than fromValue, optionally including fromValue. This method does not exist in the standard SortedSet interface.

Parameters:

fromValue - is the lower bound.

fromInclusive - is true to include fromValue.

Returns:

the subset.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

subSet

public SortedSet subSet(Object fromValue,
                        Object toValue)

Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements range from fromValue, inclusive, to toValue, exclusive. This method conforms to the SortedSet.subSet(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object) interface.

Specified by:

subSet in interface SortedSet

Parameters:

fromValue - is the lower bound.

toValue - is the upper bound.

Returns:

the subset.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.

subSet

public SortedSet subSet(Object fromValue,
                        boolean fromInclusive,
                        Object toValue,
                        boolean toInclusive)

Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly greater than fromValue and strictly less than toValue, optionally including fromValue and toValue. This method does not exist in the standard SortedSet interface.

Parameters:

fromValue - is the lower bound.

fromInclusive - is true to include fromValue.

toValue - is the upper bound.

toInclusive - is true to include toValue.

Returns:

the subset.

Throws:

RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a DatabaseException is thrown.
