Method Detail

getAllCollections

java.util.Collection<T> getAllCollections()

Returns:

all of the collections for all keys

getCollection

T getCollection(K key)

gets a collection mapped with key. If one does not exist then an empty collection is returned

Parameters:

key - key for internal collection

Returns:

collection mapped with key or an empty collection if there is none

obtainCollection

T obtainCollection(K key)

obtains a collection mapped with key. If one does not exist then one is added to this CollectionMap

Parameters:

key - key for internal collection

Returns:

(possibly new) collection mapped with key

containsValue

boolean containsValue(K key,
                    V value)

check the collection map for a key and value combination

Parameters:

key - key for internal collection

value - value to check in internal collection

Returns:

true if this CollectionMap contain the value for the given key

placeValue

boolean placeValue(K key,
                 V value)

places value into a collection mapped with key

Parameters:

key - key for internal collection

value - value to placeValue in internal collection

Returns:

true if this set did not already contain the value

placeMap

boolean placeMap(java.util.Map<K,V> map)

places each value of a map into a collection mapped with the appropriate key

Parameters:

map - map to store

Returns:

true if this set did not already contain the value

removeValue

void removeValue(K key,
               V value)

removes value from a collection mapped with key

Parameters:

key - key for internal collection

value - value to remove from internal collection

addAllValues

<C extends java.util.Collection<V>> int addAllValues(K key,
                                                   C collection)

adds everything from the given collection to the internal collection mapped with key

Parameters:

key - key for internal collection

collection - collection of values to place in internal collection

Returns:

the number of new items added

clearCollection

void clearCollection(K key)

clearCollection the collection mapped with key

Parameters:

key - key for internal collection

toSimpleMap

java.util.Map<K,T> toSimpleMap()

Copy of this object as a simple (java.util.Collection) map of Collection

Returns:

map of java.util.Collection
