Interface PoolableSetIF

All Superinterfaces:

java.util.Collection, java.lang.Iterable, java.util.Set

All Known Implementing Classes:

PoolableSet

public interface PoolableSetIF
extends java.util.Set

INTERNAL: Interface implemented by sets that can be pooled by a SetPoolIF. This interface is used byte SetPoolIFs to manage the life cycle of the sets that they manage.

Since:

2.0

Method Summary

int	dereferenced(SetPoolIF pool) INTERNAL: Decrement and return reference count.
boolean	equalsAdd(java.util.Set set, java.lang.Object add) INTERNAL: Returns true if the given set will be equal to this set if the given object had been added to this set.
boolean	equalsRemove(java.util.Set set, java.lang.Object remove) INTERNAL: Returns true if the given set will be equal to this set if the given object had been removed from this set.
int	getReferenceCount() INTERNAL: Return the current reference count.
int	referenced(SetPoolIF pool) INTERNAL: Increment and return reference count.

Method Detail

getReferenceCount

int getReferenceCount()

INTERNAL: Return the current reference count. The reference count is used to control the life cycle of the pooled set. The pool instance that manages this set will use the reference count to figure out when to drop the set from its pool.

referenced

int referenced(SetPoolIF pool)

INTERNAL: Increment and return reference count.

dereferenced

int dereferenced(SetPoolIF pool)

INTERNAL: Decrement and return reference count.

equalsAdd

boolean equalsAdd(java.util.Set set,
                  java.lang.Object add)

INTERNAL: Returns true if the given set will be equal to this set if the given object had been added to this set.

equalsRemove

boolean equalsRemove(java.util.Set set,
                     java.lang.Object remove)

INTERNAL: Returns true if the given set will be equal to this set if the given object had been removed from this set.
