All Implemented Interfaces:

Map

public final class InvertedMap

extends EntryTransformedMap

A map that exchanges keys and values for each entry. Before using this class, it must be ensured, that values are unique in the base map. Note that this class has a bad performance in general. Therefore it is recommended to store the result in another map.

protected Transformer	getTransformer() Returns the underlying transformer.
static boolean	isInvertible(Map m) Checks that no value occurs twice in the specified map.
Set	keySet() Returns a set view of the keys contained in this map.
Collection	values() Returns a collection view of the values contained in this map.

Constructor Detail

InvertedMap

public InvertedMap(Map m)

Constructs an InvertedMap object.

Parameters:

m - underlying map.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if any of the specified objects is null.

Method Detail

getTransformer

protected Transformer getTransformer()

Description copied from class: EntryTransformedMap

Returns the underlying transformer.

Overrides:

getTransformer in class EntryTransformedMap

Following copied from class: net.sf.molae.pipe.trafo.EntryTransformedMap

Returns:

the underlying transformer

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(Object key)

Returns true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key. This is the case if the base map contains the specified key as a value.

Overrides:

containsKey in class AbstractMap

Parameters:

key - key whose presence in this map is to be tested.

Returns:

true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key.

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(Object value)

Returns true if this map maps a key to the specified value. This is the case if the base map contains the specified value as a key.

Overrides:

containsValue in class AbstractMap

Parameters:

value - value whose presence in this map is to be tested.

Returns:

true if this map maps a key to the specified value

keySet

public Set keySet()

Returns a set view of the keys contained in this map. This is a set representation of the values() of the base map.

Overrides:

keySet in class AbstractMapWithSet

Returns:

a set view of the keys contained in this map

values

public Collection values()

Returns a collection view of the values contained in this map. This is the keySet() of the base map.

Overrides:

values in class AbstractMap

Returns:

a collection view of the values contained in this map

isInvertible

public static boolean isInvertible(Map m)

Checks that no value occurs twice in the specified map.

Parameters:

m - the map to be examined.

Returns:

true, iff each value in m corresponds to a unique key.
