import org.apache.commons.collections4.Closure;

Closure implementation that executes a closure repeatedly until a condition is met, like a do-while or while loop.

WARNING: from v4.1 onwards this class will not be serializable anymore in order to prevent potential remote code execution exploits. Please refer to COLLECTIONS-580 for more details.

Since:3.0

Factory method that performs validation.
Params:
  • predicate – the predicate used to evaluate when the loop terminates, not null
  • closure – the closure the execute, not null
  • doLoop – true to act as a do-while loop, always executing the closure once
Type parameters:
  • <E> – the type that the closure acts on
Throws:
Returns:the while closure

Constructor that performs no validation. Use whileClosure if you want that.

Executes the closure until the predicate is false.

Gets the predicate in use.
Returns:the predicate
