Constructor Detail

KeyToGroupMap

public KeyToGroupMap()

Creates a new map with a default group named 'Default Group'.

KeyToGroupMap

public KeyToGroupMap(java.lang.Comparable defaultGroup)

Creates a new map with the specified default group.

Parameters:

defaultGroup - the default group (null not permitted).

Method Detail

getGroupCount

public int getGroupCount()

Returns the number of groups in the map.

Returns:

The number of groups in the map.

getGroups

public java.util.List getGroups()

Returns a list of the groups (always including the default group) in the map. The returned list is independent of the map, so altering the list will have no effect.

Returns:

The groups (never null).

getGroupIndex

public int getGroupIndex(java.lang.Comparable group)

Returns the index for the group.

Parameters:

group - the group.

Returns:

The group index (or -1 if the group is not represented within the map).

getGroup

public java.lang.Comparable getGroup(java.lang.Comparable key)

Returns the group that a key is mapped to.

Parameters:

key - the key (null not permitted).

Returns:

The group (never null, returns the default group if there is no mapping for the specified key).

mapKeyToGroup

public void mapKeyToGroup(java.lang.Comparable key,
                          java.lang.Comparable group)

Maps a key to a group.

Parameters:

key - the key (null not permitted).

group - the group (null permitted, clears any existing mapping).

getKeyCount

public int getKeyCount(java.lang.Comparable group)

Returns the number of keys mapped to the specified group. This method won't always return an accurate result for the default group, since explicit mappings are not required for this group.

Parameters:

group - the group (null not permitted).

Returns:

The key count.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Tests the map for equality against an arbitrary object.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - the object to test against (null permitted).

Returns:

A boolean.

clone

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

Returns a clone of the map.

Specified by:

clone in interface PublicCloneable

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

A clone.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - if there is a problem cloning the map.
