Direct Known Subclasses:
  PredicatedSortedMap

public class PredicatedMap
extends org.apache.commons.collections.map.AbstractInputCheckedMapDecorator
implements Serializable

Decorates another `Map` to validate that additions match a specified predicate.

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

One usage would be to ensure that no null keys are added to the map.

    Map map = PredicatedSet.decorate(new HashMap(), NotNullPredicate.INSTANCE, null);

This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

Field Detail

### keyPredicate

    protected final Predicate keyPredicate

  The key predicate to use

### valuePredicate

    protected final Predicate valuePredicate

  The value predicate to use

Constructor Detail

### PredicatedMap

    protected PredicatedMap(Map map,
                            Predicate keyPredicate,
                            Predicate valuePredicate)

  Constructor that wraps (not copies).

Parameters:
  `map` - the map to decorate, must not be null
  `keyPredicate` - the predicate to validate the keys, null means no check
  `valuePredicate` - the predicate to validate to values, null means no check
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if the map is null

Method Detail

### decorate

    public static Map decorate(Map map,
                               Predicate keyPredicate,
                               Predicate valuePredicate)

  Factory method to create a predicated (validating) map.

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

  Parameters:
    `map` - the map to decorate, must not be null
    `keyPredicate` - the predicate to validate the keys, null means no check
    `valuePredicate` - the predicate to validate to values, null means no check
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the map is null

### validate

    protected void validate(Object key,
                            Object value)

  Validates a key value pair.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key to validate
    `value` - the value to validate
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if invalid

### checkSetValue

    protected Object checkSetValue(Object value)

  Override to validate an object set into the map via `setValue`.

  Specified by:
    `checkSetValue` in class `org.apache.commons.collections.map.AbstractInputCheckedMapDecorator`
  Parameters:
    `value` - the value to validate
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if invalid
  Since:
    Commons Collections 3.1

### isSetValueChecking

    protected boolean isSetValueChecking()

  Override to only return true when there is a value transformer.

  Overrides:
    `isSetValueChecking` in class `org.apache.commons.collections.map.AbstractInputCheckedMapDecorator`
  Returns:
    true if a value predicate is in use
  Since:
    Commons Collections 3.1

### put

    public Object put(Object key,
                      Object value)

  Specified by:
    `put` in interface `Map`
  Overrides:
    `put` in class `AbstractMapDecorator`

### putAll

    public void putAll(Map mapToCopy)

  Specified by:
    `putAll` in interface `Map`
  Overrides:
    `putAll` in class `AbstractMapDecorator`

### entrySet

    public Set entrySet()

  Specified by:
    `entrySet` in interface `Map`
  Overrides:
    `entrySet` in class `AbstractMapDecorator`
