public abstract class ForwardingSortedMap<K,V>
extends ForwardingMap<K,V>
implements SortedMap<K,V>

A sorted map which forwards all its method calls to another sorted map. Subclasses should override one or more methods to modify the behavior of the backing sorted map as desired per the decorator pattern.

Constructor Detail

ForwardingSortedMap

protected ForwardingSortedMap()
Constructor for use by subclasses.

Method Detail

delegate

protected abstract SortedMap<K,V> delegate()
Description copied from class: ForwardingObject
Returns the backing delegate instance that methods are forwarded to. Abstract subclasses generally override this method with an abstract method that has a more specific return type, such as ForwardingSet.delegate(). Concrete subclasses override this method to supply the instance being decorated.

Specified by:
delegate in class ForwardingMap<K,V>

comparator

public Comparator<? super K> comparator()
Description copied from interface: java.util.SortedMap
Returns the comparator used to order the keys in this map, or null if this map uses the natural ordering of its keys.

Specified by:
comparator in interface SortedMap<K,V>
Returns:
the comparator used to order the keys in this map, or null if this map uses the natural ordering of its keys

firstKey

public K firstKey()
Description copied from interface: java.util.SortedMap
Returns the first (lowest) key currently in this map.

Specified by:
firstKey in interface SortedMap<K,V>
Returns:
the first (lowest) key currently in this map

headMap

public SortedMap<K,V> headMap(K toKey)
Description copied from interface: java.util.SortedMap
Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are strictly less than toKey. The returned map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are reflected in this map, and vice-versa. The returned map supports all optional map operations that this map supports.

The returned map will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert a key outside its range.

Specified by:
headMap in interface SortedMap<K,V>
Parameters:
toKey - high endpoint (exclusive) of the keys in the returned map
Returns:
a view of the portion of this map whose keys are strictly less than toKey

lastKey

public K lastKey()
Description copied from interface: java.util.SortedMap
Returns the last (highest) key currently in this map.

Specified by:
lastKey in interface SortedMap<K,V>
Returns:
the last (highest) key currently in this map

subMap

public SortedMap<K,V> subMap(K fromKey,
                             K toKey)
Description copied from interface: java.util.SortedMap
Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from fromKey, inclusive, to toKey, exclusive. (If fromKey and toKey are equal, the returned map is empty.) The returned map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are reflected in this map, and vice-versa. The returned map supports all optional map operations that this map supports.

The returned map will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert a key outside its range.

Specified by:
subMap in interface SortedMap<K,V>
Parameters:
fromKey - low endpoint (inclusive) of the keys in the returned map
toKey - high endpoint (exclusive) of the keys in the returned map
Returns:
a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from fromKey, inclusive, to toKey, exclusive

tailMap

public SortedMap<K,V> tailMap(K fromKey)
Description copied from interface: java.util.SortedMap
Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than or equal to fromKey. The returned map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are reflected in this map, and vice-versa. The returned map supports all optional map operations that this map supports.

The returned map will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert a key outside its range.

Specified by:
tailMap in interface SortedMap<K,V>
Parameters:
fromKey - low endpoint (inclusive) of the keys in the returned map
Returns:
a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than or equal to fromKey
