Class HashNMap

java.lang.Object
  org.jfree.util.HashNMap

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class HashNMap
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

The HashNMap can be used to store multiple values by a single key value. The values stored can be retrieved using a direct query or by creating an enumeration over the stored elements.

Constructor Detail

HashNMap

public HashNMap()

Default constructor.

Method Detail

createList

protected java.util.List createList()

Returns a new empty list.

Returns:

A new empty list.

put

public boolean put(java.lang.Object key,
                   java.lang.Object val)

Inserts a new key/value pair into the map. If such a pair already exists, it gets replaced with the given values.

Parameters:

key - the key.

val - the value.

Returns:

A boolean.

add

public boolean add(java.lang.Object key,
                   java.lang.Object val)

Adds a new key/value pair into this map. If the key is not yet in the map, it gets added to the map and the call is equal to put(Object,Object).

Parameters:

key - the key.

val - the value.

Returns:

true, if the value has been added, false otherwise

getFirst

public java.lang.Object getFirst(java.lang.Object key)

Retrieves the first value registered for an key or null if there was no such key in the list.

Parameters:

key - the key.

Returns:

the value.

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.Object key,
                            int n)

Retrieves the n-th value registered for an key or null if there was no such key in the list. An index out of bounds exception is thrown if there are less than n elements registered to this key.

Parameters:

key - the key.

n - the index.

Returns:

the object.

getAll

public java.util.Iterator getAll(java.lang.Object key)

Returns an iterator over all elements registered to the given key.

Parameters:

key - the key.

Returns:

an iterator.

keys

public java.util.Iterator keys()

Returns all registered keys as an enumeration.

Returns:

an enumeration of the keys.

keySet

public java.util.Set keySet()

Returns all registered keys as set.

Returns:

a set of keys.

remove

public boolean remove(java.lang.Object key,
                      java.lang.Object value)

Removes the key/value pair from the map. If the removed entry was the last entry for this key, the key gets also removed.

Parameters:

key - the key.

value - the value.

Returns:

true, if removing the element was successfull, false otherwise.

removeAll

public void removeAll(java.lang.Object key)

Removes all elements for the given key.

Parameters:

key - the key.

clear

public void clear()

Clears all keys and values of this map.

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(java.lang.Object key)

Tests whether this map contains the given key.

Parameters:

key - the key.

Returns:

true if the key is contained in the map

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(java.lang.Object value)

Tests whether this map contains the given value.

Parameters:

value - the value.

Returns:

true if the value is registered in the map for an key.

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(java.lang.Object key,
                             java.lang.Object value)

Tests whether this map contains the given value.

Parameters:

value - the value.

key - the key under which to find the value

Returns:

true if the value is registered in the map for an key.

contains

public boolean contains(java.lang.Object value)

Tests whether this map contains the given key or value.

Parameters:

value - the value.

Returns:

true if the key or value is contained in the map

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Creates a deep copy of this HashNMap.

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a clone.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - this should never happen.

toArray

public java.lang.Object[] toArray(java.lang.Object key,
                                  java.lang.Object[] data)

Returns the contents for the given key as object array. If there were no objects registered with that key, an empty object array is returned.

Parameters:

key - the key.

data - the object array to receive the contents.

Returns:

the contents.

toArray

public java.lang.Object[] toArray(java.lang.Object key)

Returns the contents for the given key as object array. If there were no objects registered with that key, an empty object array is returned.

Parameters:

key - the key.

Returns:

the contents.

getValueCount

public int getValueCount(java.lang.Object key)

Returns the number of elements registered with the given key.

Parameters:

key - the key.

Returns:

the number of element for this key, or 0 if there are no elements registered.
