Class TypedMap
java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.collections.map.TypedMap
public class TypedMap
extends java.lang.Object
Decorates another
Map
to validate that elements added
are of a specific type.
The validation of additions is performed via an instanceof test against
a specified
Class
. If an object cannot be added to the
collection, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
Note that TypedMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe.
If you wish to use this map from multiple threads concurrently, you must use
appropriate synchronization. The simplest approach is to wrap this map
using
java.util.Collections.synchronizedMap(Map)
. This class may throw
exceptions when accessed by concurrent threads without synchronization.
The returned implementation is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.
