AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry (Java Platform SE 6) (original) (raw)

java.util

Class AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry<K,V>

java.lang.Object java.util.AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Map.Entry<K,V>

Enclosing class:

AbstractMap<K,V>

public static class AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry<K,V>

extends Object

implements Map.Entry<K,V>, Serializable

An Entry maintaining an immutable key and value. This class does not support method setValue. This class may be convenient in methods that return thread-safe snapshots of key-value mappings.

Since:

1.6

Serialized Form

AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry

public AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry(K key, V value)

Creates an entry representing a mapping from the specified key to the specified value.

Parameters:

key - the key represented by this entry

value - the value represented by this entry

AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry

public AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry(Map.Entry<? extends K,? extends V> entry)

Creates an entry representing the same mapping as the specified entry.

Parameters:

entry - the entry to copy

getKey

public K getKey()

Returns the key corresponding to this entry.

Specified by:

[getKey](../../java/util/Map.Entry.html#getKey%28%29) in interface [Map.Entry](../../java/util/Map.Entry.html "interface in java.util")<[K](../../java/util/AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry.html "type parameter in AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry"),[V](../../java/util/AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry.html "type parameter in AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry")>

Returns:

the key corresponding to this entry

getValue

public V getValue()

Returns the value corresponding to this entry.

Specified by:

[getValue](../../java/util/Map.Entry.html#getValue%28%29) in interface [Map.Entry](../../java/util/Map.Entry.html "interface in java.util")<[K](../../java/util/AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry.html "type parameter in AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry"),[V](../../java/util/AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry.html "type parameter in AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry")>

Returns:

the value corresponding to this entry

setValue

public V setValue(V value)

Replaces the value corresponding to this entry with the specified value (optional operation). This implementation simply throwsUnsupportedOperationException, as this class implements an immutable map entry.

Specified by:

[setValue](../../java/util/Map.Entry.html#setValue%28V%29) in interface [Map.Entry](../../java/util/Map.Entry.html "interface in java.util")<[K](../../java/util/AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry.html "type parameter in AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry"),[V](../../java/util/AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry.html "type parameter in AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry")>

Parameters:

value - new value to be stored in this entry

Returns:

(Does not return)

Throws:

[UnsupportedOperationException](../../java/lang/UnsupportedOperationException.html "class in java.lang") - always

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compares the specified object with this entry for equality. Returns true if the given object is also a map entry and the two entries represent the same mapping. More formally, two entries e1 and e2 represent the same mapping if

(e1.getKey()==null ? e2.getKey()==null : e1.getKey().equals(e2.getKey())) && (e1.getValue()==null ? e2.getValue()==null : e1.getValue().equals(e2.getValue()))

This ensures that the equals method works properly across different implementations of the Map.Entry interface.

Specified by:

[equals](../../java/util/Map.Entry.html#equals%28java.lang.Object%29) in interface [Map.Entry](../../java/util/Map.Entry.html "interface in java.util")<[K](../../java/util/AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry.html "type parameter in AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry"),[V](../../java/util/AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry.html "type parameter in AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry")>

Overrides:

[equals](../../java/lang/Object.html#equals%28java.lang.Object%29) in class [Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")

Parameters:

o - object to be compared for equality with this map entry

Returns:

true if the specified object is equal to this map entry

See Also:

hashCode()

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this map entry. The hash code of a map entry e is defined to be:

(e.getKey()==null ? 0 : e.getKey().hashCode()) ^ (e.getValue()==null ? 0 : e.getValue().hashCode())

This ensures that e1.equals(e2) implies thate1.hashCode()==e2.hashCode() for any two Entriese1 and e2, as required by the general contract of Object.hashCode().

Specified by:

[hashCode](../../java/util/Map.Entry.html#hashCode%28%29) in interface [Map.Entry](../../java/util/Map.Entry.html "interface in java.util")<[K](../../java/util/AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry.html "type parameter in AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry"),[V](../../java/util/AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry.html "type parameter in AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry")>

Overrides:

[hashCode](../../java/lang/Object.html#hashCode%28%29) in class [Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")

Returns:

the hash code value for this map entry

See Also:

equals(java.lang.Object)

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String representation of this map entry. This implementation returns the string representation of this entry's key followed by the equals character ("=") followed by the string representation of this entry's value.

Overrides:

[toString](../../java/lang/Object.html#toString%28%29) in class [Object](../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")

Returns:

a String representation of this map entry
