Class ListAccessor<E>

java.lang.Object
one.microstream.collections.ListAccessor<E>
All Implemented Interfaces:
Iterable<E>, CapacityCarrying, ExtendedBag<E>, ExtendedCollection<E>, ExtendedList<E>, ExtendedSequence<E>, ReleasingCollection<E>, Sized, Sortable<E>, XGettingBag<E>, XGettingCollection<E>, XGettingList<E>, XGettingSequence<E>, XIndexIterable<E>, XIterable<E>, XJoinable<E>, XOrderingSequence<E>, XReplacingBag<E>, XReplacingCollection<E>, XSettingList<E>, XSettingSequence<E>, XSortableSequence<E>, Copyable

public class ListAccessor<E>
extends Object
implements XSettingList<E>
Wrapper class that reduces the services provided by any wrapped XSettingList to only those of XSettingList, effectively making the wrapped XSettingList instance structural unmodifiable if used through an instance of this class.

All methods declared in XSettingList are transparently passed to the wrapped list.
All structural modifying methods declared in Collection and List (all variations of add~(), remove~() and retain~() as well as clear()) immediately throw an UnsupportedOperationException when called.

This concept can be very useful if a class wants to provide public read and write access to an internal list without either the danger of the list being structurally modified from the outside or the need to copy the whole list on every access.

This is one of many useful concepts that are missing in the JDK Collections Framework and thus so far lead to either inefficient or unneccessary verbose program code (or both).

    • equality

      public final Equalator<? super E> equality()
      Specified by:
      equality in interface XGettingCollection<E>
    • hasVolatileElements

      public final boolean hasVolatileElements()
      Description copied from interface: ExtendedCollection
      Tells if this collection contains volatile elements.
      An element is volatile, if it can become no longer reachable by the collection without being removed from the collection. Examples are WeakReference of SoftReference or implementations of collection entries that remove the element contained in an entry by some means outside the collection.
      Note that WeakReference instances that are added to a a simple (non-volatile) implementation of a collection do not make the collection volatile, as the elements themselves (the reference instances) are still strongly referenced.
      Specified by:
      hasVolatileElements in interface ExtendedCollection<E>
      Specified by:
      hasVolatileElements in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Returns:
      true if the collection contains volatile elements.
    • containsSearched

      public final boolean containsSearched​(Predicate<? super E> predicate)
      Specified by:
      containsSearched in interface XGettingCollection<E>
    • applies

      public final boolean applies​(Predicate<? super E> predicate)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Tests each element of the collection on the given predicate.
      Specified by:
      applies in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:
      predicate - that's tested on each element.
      Returns:
      If all elements test successfully, true is returned. Otherwise (if at least one test has failed), false is returned.
    • nullAllowed

      public final boolean nullAllowed()
      Description copied from interface: ExtendedCollection
      Defines if null-elements are allowed inside the collection or not.
      Specified by:
      nullAllowed in interface ExtendedCollection<E>
      Returns:
      true if null is allowed inside the collection; false if not
    • nullContained

      public final boolean nullContained()
      Specified by:
      nullContained in interface XGettingCollection<E>
    • containsAll

      public final boolean containsAll​(XGettingCollection<? extends E> elements)
      Specified by:
      containsAll in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:
      elements - to be searched in the collection.
      Returns:
      Whether this collection contains all given elements as specified by the Equalator.
    • contains

      public final boolean contains​(E element)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Checks if the given element is contained in the collection.
      In contrast to the XGettingCollection.containsId(Object) method, this method uses the internal Equalator defined by the collection itself.
      Specified by:
      contains in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:
      element - to be searched in the collection
      Returns:
      Whether this collection contains the given element as specified by the Equalator.
    • containsId

      public final boolean containsId​(E element)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Special version of contains() that guarantees to use identity comparison (" == ") when searching for the given element regardless of the collection's internal logic.
      This method has the same behavior as XGettingCollection.containsSearched(Predicate) with a Predicate implementation that checks for object identity. The only difference is a performance and usability advantage
      Specified by:
      containsId in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:
      element - the element to be searched in the collection by identity.
      Returns:
      whether this collection contains exactly the given element.
    • copy

      public final ListAccessor<E> copy()
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Creates a true copy of this collection which references the same elements as this collection does at the time the method is called. The elements themselves are NOT copied (no deep copying).
      The type of the returned set is the same as of this list if possible.
      Specified by:
      copy in interface Copyable

      Uniqueness is defined by the given Equalator.

      Since all MicroStream Collections implement the Consumer interface, new collections can be used as target.

      Example:
      BulkList<Integer> collection1 = BulkList.New(1,2,2,3);
      BulkList<Integer> distinctCollection = collection1.distinct(BulkList.New(), Equalator.identity());

      Given target
    • equals

      @Deprecated public final boolean equals​(Object o)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Performs an equality comparison according to the specification in Collection.

      Note that it is this interface's author opinion that the whole concept of equals() in standard Java, especially in the collection implementations, is flawed.
      The reason is because all different kinds of comparison types that actually depend on the situation have to be mixed up in a harcoded fashion in one method, from identity comparison over data indentity comparison to content comparison.
      In order to get the right behavior in every situation, one has to distinct between different types of equality

      This means several things:
      1.) You can't just say for example an ArrayList is the "same" as a LinkedList just because they contain the same content.
      There are different implementations for a good reason, so you have to distinct them when comparing. There are simple code examples which create massive misbehavior that will catastrophically ruin the runtime behavior of a programm due to this error in Java / JDK / Sun / whatever.
      2.) You can't always determine equality of two collections by determining equality of each element as Collection defines it.

      As a conclusion: don't use this method!
      Be clear what type of comparison you really need, then use one of the following methods and proper comparators:
      XGettingCollection.equals(XGettingCollection, Equalator)
      XGettingCollection.equalsContent(XGettingCollection, Equalator)

      Specified by:
      equals in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
    • equals

      public final boolean equals​(XGettingCollection<? extends E> samples, Equalator<? super E> equalator)
      Specified by:
      equals in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:
      samples - is the collection which is checked for equality
      equalator - is used to check the equality of the collections
      Returns:
      true if the passed collection is of the same type as this collection and this.equalsContent(list, equalator) yields true
    • equalsContent

      public final boolean equalsContent​(XGettingCollection<? extends E> samples, Equalator<? super E> equalator)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Returns true if all elements of this list and the passed list are sequentially equal as defined by the passed equalator.

      Note that for colletion types that don't have a defined order of elements, this method is hardly usable (as is XGettingCollection.equals(Object) for them as defined in Collection). The core problem of comparing collections that have no defined order is that they aren't really reliably comparable to any other collection.

      Specified by:
      equalsContent in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:
      samples - is the collection which is checked for equality
      equalator - the equalator to use to determine the equality of each element
      Returns:
      true if this list is equal to the passed list, false otherwise
    • except

      public final <C extends Consumer<? super E>> C except​(XGettingCollection<? extends E> other, Equalator<? super E> equalator, C target)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Calls Consumer.accept(Object) on the target Consumer for each element of this collection that is not contained in the other collection (through the given equalator).

      Since all MicroStream Collections implement the Consumer interface, new collections can be used as target.

      Example:
      BulkList<Integer> collection1 = BulkList.New(1,2,3);
      BulkList<Integer> collection2 = BulkList.New(2,3,4);
      BulkList<Integer> exceptCollection = collection1.except(collection2, Equalator.identity(), BulkList.New());

      Results in exceptCollection containing 1.

      Specified by:
      except in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Type Parameters:
      C - type of the target
      Parameters:
      other - collection whose elements are excluded from the target.
      equalator - which is used for the equal-tests.
      target - on which the Consumer.accept(Object) is called for elements not contained in the other collection.
      Returns:
      Given target

    • intersect

      public final <C extends Consumer<? super E>> C intersect​(XGettingCollection<? extends E> other, Equalator<? super E> equalator, C target)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Tests equality between each element of the two lists and calls Consumer.accept(Object) on the target Consumer for the equal elements.
      Therefore it effectively creates a mathematical intersection between the two collections.

      Since all MicroStream Collections implement the Consumer interface, new collections can be used as target.

      Example:
      BulkList<Integer> collection1 = BulkList.New(1,2,3);
      BulkList<Integer> collection2 = BulkList.New(2,3,4);
      BulkList<Integer> intersection = collection1.intersect(collection2, Equalator.identity(), BulkList.New());

      Results in intersection containing 2 and 3.

      Specified by:
      intersect in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:
      other - collection to intersect with.
      equalator - which is used for the equal-tests.
      target - on which the Consumer.accept(Object) is called for equal elements.

      isSorted in interface XGettingSequence<E>
      Parameters:
      comparator - defines if elements are sorted
      Returns:
      true if it sorted, false if not
    • lastIndexBy

      public final long lastIndexBy​(Predicate<? super E> predicate)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingSequence
      Iterates backwards through the collection and returns the index of the last element that the passed Predicate applies to immediately.
      Stops iterating on the first element that the predicate applies to.

      Basically the opposite of XGettingSequence.indexBy(Predicate).
      Similar but not the same as XGettingSequence.scan(Predicate), since scan iterates through all elements.

      Specified by:
      lastIndexBy in interface XGettingSequence<E>
      Parameters:
      predicate - to define a valid element
      Returns:

    • reverse

      public final ListAccessor<E> reverse()
      Description copied from interface: XSortableSequence
      Reverses the order of its own elements and returns itself.

      Unlike the XSortableSequence.toReversed() method, this method does not create a new collection, but changes the order of its own elements.

      Specified by:
      reverse in interface XOrderingSequence<E>
      Specified by:
      reverse in interface XSettingList<E>
      Specified by:

    • scan

      public final long scan​(Predicate<? super E> predicate)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingSequence
      Iterates through the collection and returns the index of the last element that the passed Predicate applied to ("scanning").

      In order to find the last element, this method must iterate over all elements of the collection (opposed to XGettingSequence.indexBy(Predicate) and XGettingSequence.lastIndexBy(Predicate)).

      Iteration can be safely canceled with a ThrowBreak (X.BREAK)

      Specified by:
      scan in interface XGettingSequence<E>
      Parameters:
      predicate - to define a valid element
      Returns:
      the index of the last positively tested element.
    • seek

      public final E seek​(E sample)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Returns the first contained element matching the passed sample as defined by the collection's equality logic or null, if no fitting element is contained. (For collections using referential equality, this method is basically just a variation of XGettingCollection.contains(Object) with a different return type. For collections with data-dependant equality, the returned element might be the same as the passed one or a data-wise equal one, depending on the content of the collection)
      Specified by:
      seek in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:
      sample - to seek in the collection

      public final Object[] toArray()
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection.

      The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this list. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.

    • union

      public final <C extends Consumer<? super E>> C union​(XGettingCollection<? extends E> other, Equalator<? super E> equalator, C target)
      Description copied from interface: XGettingCollection
      Calls Consumer.accept(Object) on the target Consumer for all the elements of this collection. And calls it for all elements of the other collection, that are not already in this collection (defined by the given Equalator)
      Therefore it effectively creates a mathematical union between the two collections.

      Since all MicroStream Collections implement the Consumer interface, new collections can be used as target.

      Example:
      BulkList<Integer> collection1 = BulkList.New(1,2,3);
      BulkList<Integer> collection2 = BulkList.New(2,3,4);
      BulkList<Integer> union = collection1.union(collection2, Equalator.identity(), BulkList.New());

      Results in union containing 1, 2, 3 and 4.

      Specified by:
      union in interface XGettingCollection<E>
      Parameters:
      other - collection to build a union with.
      equalator - which is used for the equal-tests.
      target - on which the Consumer.accept(Object) is called for all unified elements.
      Returns:
      Given target
