Class MultiKeyHashtable

java.lang.Object
  ariba.util.core.MultiKeyHashtable

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

public class MultiKeyHashtable
extends Object
implements Cloneable

A MultiKeyHashtable class that allows for multiple keys per entry. This is useful when several keys are required to uniquely identify an object. For example, to uniquely identify a Method, we must have the Class and the name of the Method. Note that this class is not thread-safe. This does NOT currently support removing values.

Constructor Summary

MultiKeyHashtable(int keyCount)
Constructs a new, empty MultiKeyHashtable which uses the specified number of keys.

MultiKeyHashtable(int keyCount, int initialSize, boolean useIdentityComparison)
Constructs a new, empty MultiKeyHashtable which uses the specified number of keys, initial size, and whether or not comparisons use the 'equals' method or simply '=='.

Method Summary

void	add(MultiKeyHashtable otherHashtable) Adds all the items from otherHashtable to the reciever.
Object	clone() Creates a copy of the receiver including a copy of the internal keys and values arrays.
Object	get(Object key0, Object key1) Locates and returns the value keyed by the two keys key0, key1.
Object	get(Object key0, Object key1, Object key2) Locates and returns the value keyed by the three keys key0, key1, key2.
Object	get(Object key0, Object key1, Object key2, Object key3) Locates and returns the value keyed by the fours keys key0, key1, key2, key3.
int	keyCount() The number of keys expected by the table.
Object	put(Object key0, Object key1, Object value) Inserts the value keyed by the two keys key0, key1.
Object	put(Object key0, Object key1, Object key2, Object value) Inserts the value keyed by the three keys key0, key1, key2.
Object	put(Object key0, Object key1, Object key2, Object key3, Object value) Inserts the value keyed by the four keys key0, key1, key2, key3.
Object	putIfAbsent(Object key0, Object key1, Object value) See put(..).
Object	putIfAbsent(Object key0, Object key1, Object key2, Object value) See put(..).
Object	putIfAbsent(Object key0, Object key1, Object key2, Object key3, Object value) See put(..).

Constructor Detail

MultiKeyHashtable

public MultiKeyHashtable(int keyCount)

Constructs a new, empty MultiKeyHashtable which uses the specified number of keys.

Parameters:

keyCount - the number of keys which the table will use. All gets and puts must use this number of keys to access the table.

MultiKeyHashtable

public MultiKeyHashtable(int keyCount,
                         int initialSize,
                         boolean useIdentityComparison)

Constructs a new, empty MultiKeyHashtable which uses the specified number of keys, initial size, and whether or not comparisons use the 'equals' method or simply '=='.

Parameters:

keyCount - the number of keys which the table will use. All gets and puts must use this number of keys to access the table.

initialSize - the number of slots created when the hashtable is first created.

useIdentityComparison - a flag to inidicate if the internal comparisons should use the 'equals' method or simply use '=='.

Method Detail

remove

public Object remove(Object[] targetKeyList)

Removes from the table the object value for a list of target keys.

Parameters:

targetKeyList - the list of target keys to remove.

Returns:

the existing value for the target keys or null if no existing value.

get

public Object get(Object key0,
                  Object key1)

Locates and returns the value keyed by the two keys key0, key1. This puts the keys into and internal, shared keyList, so its imperative that you lock around this and all access to this class if its to be used in a multi-threaded scenario.

Parameters:

key0 - the first key.

key1 - the second key.

Returns:

Returns the value keyed by key0, key1 or null if not found.

get

public Object get(Object key0,
                  Object key1,
                  Object key2)

Locates and returns the value keyed by the three keys key0, key1, key2. This puts the keys into and internal, shared keyList, so its imperative that you lock around this and all access to this class if its to be used in a multi-threaded scenario.

Parameters:

key0 - the first key.

key1 - the second key.

key2 - the second key.

Returns:

Returns the value keyed by key0, key1, key2 or null if not found.

get

public Object get(Object key0,
                  Object key1,
                  Object key2,
                  Object key3)

Locates and returns the value keyed by the fours keys key0, key1, key2, key3. This puts the keys into and internal, shared keyList, so its imperative that you lock around this and all access to this class if its to be used in a multi-threaded scenario.

Parameters:

key0 - the first key.

key1 - the second key.

key2 - the second key.

key3 - the second key.

Returns:

Returns the value keyed by key0, key1, key2, key3 or null if not found.

put

public Object put(Object key0,
                  Object key1,
                  Object value)

Inserts the value keyed by the two keys key0, key1. This puts the keys into and internal, shared keyList, so its imperative that you lock around this and all access to this class if its to be used in a multi-threaded scenario.

Parameters:

key0 - the first key.

key1 - the second key.

Returns:

Returns the value keyed by key0, key1 or null if not found.

put

public Object put(Object key0,
                  Object key1,
                  Object key2,
                  Object value)

Inserts the value keyed by the three keys key0, key1, key2. This puts the keys into and internal, shared keyList, so its imperative that you lock around this and all access to this class if its to be used in a multi-threaded scenario.

Parameters:

key0 - the first key.

key1 - the second key.

key2 - the third key.

Returns:

Returns the value keyed by key0, key1, key2 or null if not found.

put

public Object put(Object key0,

                  Object key3,
                  Object value)

Inserts the value keyed by the four keys key0, key1, key2, key3. This puts the keys into and internal, shared keyList, so its imperative that you lock around this and all access to this class if its to be used in a multi-threaded scenario.

Parameters:

key0 - the first key.

key1 - the second key.

key2 - the third key.

key3 - the fourth key.

Returns:

Parameters:

key0 - the first key.

key1 - the second key.

Returns:

Returns the value keyed by key0, key1 or null if not found.

Returns:

Returns the number of keys expected by the table.

add
