public static class Object2ReferenceFunctions.EmptyFunction<K,V> extends AbstractObject2ReferenceFunction<K,V> implements Serializable, Cloneable
This class may be useful to implement your own in case you subclass a type-specific function.

containsKey(Object k)
Returns true if this function contains a mapping for the specified key.
|
V |
defaultReturnValue()
Gets the default return value.
|
void |
defaultReturnValue(V defRetValue)
Sets the default return value.
|
V |
get(Object k)
Returns the value associated by this function to the specified key.
|
