Class PredicatedSortedSet<E>

  • Type Parameters:
    E - the type of the elements in this set
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Set<E>, SortedSet<E>
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    PredicatedNavigableSet
    public class PredicatedSortedSet<E>
extends PredicatedSet<E>
implements SortedSet<E>
    Decorates another SortedSet to validate that all additions match a specified predicate.

    This set exists to provide validation for the decorated set. It is normally created to decorate an empty set. If an object cannot be added to the set, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

    One usage would be to ensure that no null entries are added to the set. 

     SortedSet set =
   PredicatedSortedSet.predicatedSortedSet(new TreeSet(),
                                           NotNullPredicate.notNullPredicate());

    This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

        public static <E> PredicatedSortedSet<E> predicatedSortedSet​(SortedSet<E> set,
                                                             Predicate<? super E> predicate)
        Factory method to create a predicated (validating) sorted set.

        If there are any elements already in the set being decorated, they are validated.

        Type Parameters:
        E - the element type
        Parameters:
        set - the set to decorate, must not be null
        predicate - the predicate to use for validation, must not be null
        Returns:
        a new predicated sorted set.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if set or predicate is null
        IllegalArgumentException - if the set contains invalid elements
