Class SnapshotCloneIterable<E>

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.tools.utility.iterable.CloneIterable<E>

org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.tools.utility.iterable.SnapshotCloneIterable<E>

Type Parameters:

E - the type of elements returned by the iterable's iterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Iterable<E>

public class SnapshotCloneIterable<E>
extends CloneIterable<E>

A SnapshotCloneIterable returns an iterator on a "snapshot" of a collection, allowing for concurrent access to the original collection. A copy of the collection is created when the iterable is constructed. As a result, the contents of the collection will be the same with every call to iterator().

The original collection passed to the SnapshotCloneIterable's constructor should be thread-safe (e.g. Vector); otherwise you run the risk of a corrupted collection.

By default, the iterator returned by a SnapshotCloneIterable does not support the Iterator.remove() operation; this is because it does not have access to the original collection. But if the SnapshotCloneIterable is supplied with a org.eclipse.jpt.common.utility.internal.iterators.CloneIterator.Remover it will delegate the Iterator.remove() operation to the Remover. Alternatively, a subclass can override the iterable's CloneIterable.remove(Object) method.

This iterable is useful for multiple passes over a collection that should not be changed (e.g. by another thread) between passes.

Constructor Detail

SnapshotCloneIterable

public SnapshotCloneIterable(java.util.Iterator<? extends E> iterator)

Construct a "snapshot" iterable for the specified iterator. The Iterator.remove() operation will not be supported by the iterator returned by iterator() unless a subclass overrides the iterable's CloneIterable.remove(Object) method.

SnapshotCloneIterable

public SnapshotCloneIterable(java.util.Iterator<? extends E> iterator,
                     CloneIterator.Remover<E> remover)

Construct a "snapshot" iterable for the specified iterator. The specified remover will be used by any generated iterators to remove objects from the original collection.

SnapshotCloneIterable

public SnapshotCloneIterable(java.util.Collection<? extends E> collection)

Construct a "snapshot" iterable for the specified collection. The Iterator.remove() operation will not be supported by the iterator returned by iterator() unless a subclass overrides the iterable's CloneIterable.remove(Object) method.

SnapshotCloneIterable

public SnapshotCloneIterable(java.util.Collection<? extends E> collection,
                     CloneIterator.Remover<E> remover)

Construct a "snapshot" iterable for the specified collection. The specified remover will be used by any generated iterators to remove objects from the original collection.
