Class PredicatedSortedBag<E>

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.collections4.collection.AbstractCollectionDecorator<E>
org.apache.commons.collections4.collection.PredicatedCollection<E>
org.apache.commons.collections4.bag.PredicatedBag<E>
org.apache.commons.collections4.bag.PredicatedSortedBag<E>
Type Parameters:
E - the type of elements in this bag
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Bag<E>, SortedBag<E>
public class PredicatedSortedBag<E> extends PredicatedBag<E> implements SortedBag<E>
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.predicatedSortedBag(new TreeBag(), NotNullPredicate.INSTANCE);

This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

      protected PredicatedSortedBag(SortedBag<E> bag, Predicate<? super E> predicate)
      Constructor that wraps (not copies).

      If there are any elements already in the bag being decorated, they are validated.

      Parameters:
      bag - the bag to decorate, must not be null
      predicate - the predicate to use for validation, must not be null
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if bag or predicate is null
      IllegalArgumentException - if the bag contains invalid elements

      public static <E> PredicatedSortedBag<E> predicatedSortedBag(SortedBag<E> bag, Predicate<? super E> predicate)
      Factory method to create a predicated (validating) bag.

      If there are any elements already in the bag being decorated, they are validated.

      Type Parameters:
      E - the type of the elements in the bag
      Parameters:
      bag - the bag to decorate, must not be null
      predicate - the predicate to use for validation, must not be null
      Returns:
      a new predicated SortedBag
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if bag or predicate is null
      IllegalArgumentException - if the bag contains invalid elements
