Class WeakValueHashMap

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable, Map

    public class WeakValueHashMap
    extends HashMap
    A WeakValueHashMap is implemented as a HashMap that maps keys to WeakValues. Because we don't have access to the innards of the HashMap, we have to wrap/unwrap value objects with WeakValues on every operation. Fortunately WeakValues are small, short-lived objects, so the added allocation overhead is tolerable. This implementaton directly extends java.util.HashMap.

      • containsValue

        public boolean containsValue​(Object value)
        Returns true if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value.

        Specified by:
        containsValue in interface Map
