Class PriorityQueue<E>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Iterable<E>, java.util.Collection<E>, java.util.Queue<E>, SCO<java.util.PriorityQueue<E>>, SCOCollection<java.util.PriorityQueue<E>,​E>, SCOContainer<java.util.PriorityQueue<E>>, BackedSCO

    public class PriorityQueue<E>
    extends PriorityQueue<E>
    implements BackedSCO
    A mutable second-class PriorityQueue object. This class extends PriorityQueue, using that class to contain the current objects, and the backing ListStore to be the interface to the datastore. A "backing store" is not present for datastores that dont use DatastoreClass, or if the container is serialised or non-persistent.

    Modes of Operation

    The user can operate the list in 2 modes. The cached mode will use an internal cache of the elements (in the "delegate") reading them at the first opportunity and then using the cache thereafter. The non-cached mode will just go direct to the "backing store" each call.

    Mutators

    When the "backing store" is present any updates are passed direct to the datastore as well as to the "delegate". If the "backing store" isn't present the changes are made to the "delegate" only.

    Accessors

    When any accessor method is invoked, it typically checks whether the container has been loaded from its "backing store" (where present) and does this as necessary. Some methods (size()) just check if everything is loaded and use the delegate if possible, otherwise going direct to the datastore.
