Class CollectionToShortCollectionAdapter

java.lang.Object
  bak.pcj.AbstractShortCollection
      bak.pcj.adapter.CollectionToShortCollectionAdapter

All Implemented Interfaces:: ShortCollection

public class CollectionToShortCollectionAdapter
extends AbstractShortCollection

This class represents adaptions of Java Collections Framework collections to primitive collections of short values. The adapter is implemented as a wrapper around the collection. Thus, changes to the underlying collection are reflected by this collection and vice versa.

Adapters from JCF collections to primitive collections will fail if the JCF collection contains null values or values of the wrong class. However, adapters are not fast failing in the case that the underlying collection should contain illegal values. To implement fast failure would require every operation to check every element of the underlying collection before doing anything. Instead validation methods are provided. They can be called using the assertion facility in the client code:

      CollectionToShortCollectionAdapter s;
      ...
      assert s.validate();

or by letting the adapter throw an exception on illegal values:

      CollectionToShortCollectionAdapter s;
      ...
      s.evalidate();  // Throws an exception on illegal values

Either way, validation must be invoked directly by the client code.

Constructor Detail

CollectionToShortCollectionAdapter

public CollectionToShortCollectionAdapter(Collection collection)

Creates a new adaption of a collection to a collection of short values.
Parameters:: collection - the underlying collection. This collection must consist of values of class Short. Otherwise a ClassCastException will be thrown by some methods.
Throws:: NullPointerException - if collection is null.

CollectionToShortCollectionAdapter

public CollectionToShortCollectionAdapter(Collection collection,
                                          boolean validate)

Creates a new adaption of a collection to a collection of short values. The collection to adapt is optionally validated.
Parameters:: collection - the underlying collection. This collection must consist of values of class Short. Otherwise a ClassCastException will be thrown by some methods.; validate - indicates whether collection should be checked for illegal values.
Throws:: NullPointerException - if collection is null.; IllegalStateException - if validate is true and collection contains a null value or a value that is not of class Short.
