Apache Commons Collections version 3.x is being deprecated from AEMaaCS. The upgraded version 4.4 of Commons Collections is already included as replacement. Customers are advised to upgrade to this version of the library. Please note: the package name was changed to org.apache.commons.collections4. Further note that there are AEM APIs currently exposing the old collections classes; these will be updated in upcoming releases.
Decorates another SortedBag to validate that additions match a specified predicate.

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

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

SortedBag bag = PredicatedSortedBag.decorate(new TreeBag(), NotNullPredicate.INSTANCE);

This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

Since:
Commons Collections 3.0
