Method Detail
-
getTabularType
TabularType getTabularType()
Returns the tabular type describing thisTabularData
instance.- Returns:
- the tabular type.
-
calculateIndex
Object[] calculateIndex(CompositeData value)
Calculates the index that would be used in thisTabularData
instance to refer to the specified composite data value parameter if it were added to this instance. This method checks for the type validity of the specified value, but does not check if the calculated index is already used to refer to a value in thisTabularData
instance.- Parameters:
value
- the composite data value whose index in thisTabularData
instance is to be calculated; must be of the same composite type as this instance's row type; must not be null.- Returns:
- the index that the specified value would have in this
TabularData
instance. - Throws:
NullPointerException
- if value isnull
InvalidOpenTypeException
- if value does not conform to thisTabularData
instance's row type definition.
-
size
int size()
Returns the number ofCompositeData
values (ie the number of rows) contained in thisTabularData
instance.- Returns:
- the number of values contained.
-
isEmpty
boolean isEmpty()
Returnstrue
if the number ofCompositeData
values (ie the number of rows) contained in thisTabularData
instance is zero.- Returns:
- true if this
TabularData
is empty.
-
containsKey
boolean containsKey(Object[] key)
Returnstrue
if and only if thisTabularData
instance contains aCompositeData
value (ie a row) whose index is the specified key. If key isnull
or does not conform to thisTabularData
instance'sTabularType
definition, this method simply returnsfalse
.- Parameters:
key
- the index value whose presence in thisTabularData
instance is to be tested.- Returns:
true
if thisTabularData
indexes a row value with the specified key.
-
containsValue
boolean containsValue(CompositeData value)
Returnstrue
if and only if thisTabularData
instance contains the specifiedCompositeData
value. If value isnull
or does not conform to thisTabularData
instance's row type definition, this method simply returnsfalse
.- Parameters:
value
- the row value whose presence in thisTabularData
instance is to be tested.- Returns:
true
if thisTabularData
instance contains the specified row value.
-
get
CompositeData get(Object[] key)
Returns theCompositeData
value whose index is key, ornull
if there is no value mapping to key, in thisTabularData
instance.- Parameters:
key
- the key of the row to return.- Returns:
- the value corresponding to key.
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if the key isnull
InvalidKeyException
- if the key does not conform to thisTabularData
instance's *TabularType
definition
-
put
void put(CompositeData value)
Adds value to thisTabularData
instance. The composite type of value must be the same as this instance's row type (ie the composite type returned bythis.getTabularType().
), and there must not already be an existing value in thisgetRowType()
TabularData
instance whose index is the same as the one calculated for the value to be added. The index for value is calculated according to thisTabularData
instance'sTabularType
definition (seeTabularType.
).getIndexNames()
- Parameters:
value
- the composite data value to be added as a new row to thisTabularData
instance; must be of the same composite type as this instance's row type; must not be null.- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if value isnull
InvalidOpenTypeException
- if value does not conform to thisTabularData
instance's row type definition.KeyAlreadyExistsException
- if the index for value, calculated according to thisTabularData
instance'sTabularType
definition already maps to an existing value in the underlying HashMap.
-
remove
CompositeData remove(Object[] key)
Removes theCompositeData
value whose index is key from thisTabularData
instance, and returns the removed value, or returnsnull
if there is no value whose index is key.- Parameters:
key
- the index of the value to get in thisTabularData
instance; must be valid with thisTabularData
instance's row type definition; must not be null.- Returns:
- previous value associated with specified key, or
null
if there was no mapping for key. - Throws:
NullPointerException
- if the key isnull
InvalidKeyException
- if the key does not conform to thisTabularData
instance'sTabularType
definition
-
putAll
void putAll(CompositeData[] values)
Add all the elements in values to thisTabularData
instance. If any element in values does not satisfy the constraints defined input
, or if any two elements in values have the same index calculated according to thisTabularData
instance'sTabularType
definition, then an exception describing the failure is thrown and no element of values is added, thus leaving thisTabularData
instance unchanged.- Parameters:
values
- the array of composite data values to be added as new rows to thisTabularData
instance; if values isnull
or empty, this method returns without doing anything.- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if an element of values isnull
InvalidOpenTypeException
- if an element of values does not conform to thisTabularData
instance's row type definitionKeyAlreadyExistsException
- if the index for an element of values, calculated according to thisTabularData
instance'sTabularType
definition already maps to an existing value in this instance, or two elements of values have the same index.
-
clear
void clear()
Removes allCompositeData
values (ie rows) from thisTabularData
instance.
-
keySet
Set<?> keySet()
Returns a set view of the keys (ie the index values) of theCompositeData
values (ie the rows) contained in thisTabularData
instance. The returnedSet
is aSet<List<?>>
but is declared as aSet<?>
for compatibility reasons. The returned set can be used to iterate over the keys.- Returns:
- a set view (
Set<List<?>>
) of the index values used in thisTabularData
instance.
-
values
Collection<?> values()
Returns a collection view of theCompositeData
values (ie the rows) contained in thisTabularData
instance. The returnedCollection
is aCollection<CompositeData>
but is declared as aCollection<?>
for compatibility reasons. The returned collection can be used to iterate over the values.- Returns:
- a collection view (
Collection<CompositeData>
) of the rows contained in thisTabularData
instance.
-
equals
boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares the specified obj parameter with thisTabularData
instance for equality.Returns
true
if and only if all of the following statements are true:- obj is non null,
- obj also implements the
TabularData
interface, - their row types are equal
- their contents (ie index to value mappings) are equal
equals
method works properly for obj parameters which are different implementations of theTabularData
interface.
- Overrides:
equals
in classObject
- Parameters:
obj
- the object to be compared for equality with thisTabularData
instance;- Returns:
true
if the specified object is equal to thisTabularData
instance.- See Also:
Object.hashCode()
,HashMap
-
hashCode
int hashCode()
Returns the hash code value for thisTabularData
instance.The hash code of a
TabularData
instance is the sum of the hash codes of all elements of information used inequals
comparisons (ie: its tabular type and its content, where the content is defined as all the index to value mappings).This ensures that
t1.equals(t2)
implies thatt1.hashCode()==t2.hashCode()
for any twoTabularDataSupport
instancest1
andt2
, as required by the general contract of the methodObject.hashCode()
.- Overrides:
hashCode
in classObject
- Returns:
- the hash code value for this
TabularDataSupport
instance - See Also:
Object.equals(java.lang.Object)
,System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)
