Class ArrayStack

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, Iterable, Collection, List, RandomAccess, SequencedCollection, Buffer

@Deprecated(since="2021-04-30") public class ArrayStack extends ArrayList implements Buffer
Deprecated.
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.
An implementation of the Stack API that is based on an ArrayList instead of a Vector, so it is not synchronized to protect against multi-threaded access. The implementation is therefore operates faster in environments where you do not need to worry about multiple thread contention.

The removal order of an ArrayStack is based on insertion order: The most recently added element is removed first. The iteration order is not the same as the removal order. The iterator returns elements from the bottom up, whereas the remove() method removes them from the top down.

Unlike Stack, ArrayStack accepts null entries.

Since:
Commons Collections 1.0

      Parameters:
      object - the object to be searched for
