Class LinkedMap

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.util.Map, IterableMap, OrderedMap
    @Deprecated(since="2021-04-30")
public class LinkedMap
extends AbstractLinkedMap
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable
    Deprecated.
    Commons Collections 3 is in maintenance mode. Commons Collections 4 should be used instead.
    A Map implementation that maintains the order of the entries. In this implementation order is maintained by original insertion.

    This implementation improves on the JDK1.4 LinkedHashMap by adding the MapIterator functionality, additional convenience methods and allowing bidirectional iteration. It also implements OrderedMap. In addition, non-interface methods are provided to access the map by index.

    The orderedMapIterator() method provides direct access to a bidirectional iterator. The iterators from the other views can also be cast to OrderedIterator if required.

    All the available iterators can be reset back to the start by casting to ResettableIterator and calling reset().

    The implementation is also designed to be subclassed, with lots of useful methods exposed.

    Note that LinkedMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe. If you wish to use this map from multiple threads concurrently, you must use appropriate synchronization. The simplest approach is to wrap this map using Collections.synchronizedMap(Map). This class may throw exceptions when accessed by concurrent threads without synchronization.

    Since:
    Commons Collections 3.0

    • Method Detail

      • clone

        public java.lang.Object clone()
        Deprecated.
        Clones the map without cloning the keys or values.
        Returns:
        a shallow clone

      • get

        public java.lang.Object get​(int index)
        Deprecated.
        Gets the key at the specified index.
        Parameters:
        index - the index to retrieve
        Returns:
        the key at the specified index
        Throws:
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is invalid

      • getValue

        public java.lang.Object getValue​(int index)
        Deprecated.
        Gets the value at the specified index.
        Parameters:
        index - the index to retrieve
        Returns:
        the key at the specified index
        Throws:
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is invalid

      • indexOf

        public int indexOf​(java.lang.Object key)
        Deprecated.
        Gets the index of the specified key.
        Parameters:
        key - the key to find the index of
        Returns:
        the index, or -1 if not found

      • remove

        public java.lang.Object remove​(int index)
        Deprecated.
        Removes the element at the specified index.
        Parameters:
        index - the index of the object to remove
        Returns:
        the previous value corresponding the key, or null if none existed
        Throws:
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is invalid

      • asList

        public java.util.List asList()
        Deprecated.
        Gets an unmodifiable List view of the keys.

        The returned list is unmodifiable because changes to the values of the list (using ListIterator.set(Object)) will effectively remove the value from the list and reinsert that value at the end of the list, which is an unexpected side effect of changing the value of a list. This occurs because changing the key, changes when the mapping is added to the map and thus where it appears in the list.

        An alternative to this method is to use AbstractHashedMap.keySet().

        Returns:
        The ordered list of keys.
