import org.apache.commons.collections.Predicate;

Decorates another Set to validate that all additions match a specified predicate.

This set exists to provide validation for the decorated set. It is normally created to decorate an empty set. If an object cannot be added to the set, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

One usage would be to ensure that no null entries are added to the set.

Set set = PredicatedSet.decorate(new HashSet(), NotNullPredicate.INSTANCE);

This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

Factory method to create a predicated (validating) set.

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

Params:
  • set – the set to decorate, must not be null
  • predicate – the predicate to use for validation, must not be null
Throws:
/** * Factory method to create a predicated (validating) set. * <p> * If there are any elements already in the set being decorated, they * are validated. * * @param set the set to decorate, must not be null * @param predicate the predicate to use for validation, must not be null * @throws IllegalArgumentException if set or predicate is null * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the set contains invalid elements */
public static Set decorate(Set set, Predicate predicate) { return new PredicatedSet(set, predicate); } //-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Constructor that wraps (not copies).

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

Params:
  • set – the set to decorate, must not be null
  • predicate – the predicate to use for validation, must not be null
Throws:
/** * Constructor that wraps (not copies). * <p> * If there are any elements already in the set being decorated, they * are validated. * * @param set the set to decorate, must not be null * @param predicate the predicate to use for validation, must not be null * @throws IllegalArgumentException if set or predicate is null * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the set contains invalid elements */

Returns:the decorated set
