Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
static final int	ADD
protected int	changeType	INTERNAL: Change type is either add or remove
protected Integer	index	INTERNAL: index is the location of the change in the collection
protected boolean	isChangeApplied	INTERNAL: This flag will indicate if the object has already been removed or added to the collection before raising an event.
protected boolean	isSet	INTERNAL: Set operation in IndirectList results in raising two events: removal of the old value and addition of the new one at the same index: oldValue = list.set(i, newValue); raiseRemoveEvent(i, oldValue, true); raiseAddEvent(i, newValue, true); This flag indicates whether the event was raised by set operation on the list.
static final int	REMOVE
