All Implemented Interfaces:
  Collection, Serializable, Set, SortedSet

public class PredicatedSortedSet
extends PredicatedSet
implements SortedSet

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

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

One usage would be to ensure that no null entries are added to the set.

    SortedSet set = PredicatedSortedSet.decorate(new TreeSet(), NotNullPredicate.INSTANCE);

This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

Constructor Detail

### PredicatedSortedSet

    protected PredicatedSortedSet(SortedSet set,
                                  Predicate predicate)

  Constructor that wraps (not copies).

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

Parameters:
  `set` - the set to decorate, must not be null
  `predicate` - the predicate to use for validation, must not be null
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if set or predicate is null
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if the set contains invalid elements

Method Detail

### decorate

    public static SortedSet decorate(SortedSet set,
                                     Predicate predicate)

  Factory method to create a predicated (validating) sorted set.

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

  Parameters:
    `set` - the set to decorate, must not be null
    `predicate` - the predicate to use for validation, must not be null
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if set or predicate is null
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the set contains invalid elements

### subSet

    public SortedSet subSet(Object fromElement,
                            Object toElement)

  Specified by:
    `subSet` in interface `SortedSet`

### headSet

    public SortedSet headSet(Object toElement)

  Specified by:
    `headSet` in interface `SortedSet`

### tailSet

    public SortedSet tailSet(Object fromElement)

  Specified by:
    `tailSet` in interface `SortedSet`

### first

    public Object first()

  Specified by:
    `first` in interface `SortedSet`

### last

    public Object last()

  Specified by:
    `last` in interface `SortedSet`

### comparator

    public Comparator comparator()

  Specified by:
    `comparator` in interface `SortedSet`
