Class ArrayList<E>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Iterable<E>, java.util.Collection<E>, java.util.List<E>, java.util.RandomAccess, SCO<java.util.ArrayList<E>>, SCOCollection<java.util.ArrayList<E>,​E>, SCOContainer<java.util.ArrayList<E>>, SCOList<java.util.ArrayList<E>,​E>, BackedSCO

    public class ArrayList<E>
    extends ArrayList<E>
    implements BackedSCO
    A mutable second-class ArrayList object. This class extends ArrayList, 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.

      • set

        public E set​(int index,
                     E element,
                     boolean allowDependentField)
        Description copied from class: ArrayList
        wrapper addition that allows turning off of the dependent-field checks when doing the position setting. This means that we can prevent the deletion of the object that was previously in that position. This particular feature is used when attaching a list field and where some elements have changed positions.
        Specified by:
        set in interface SCOList<java.util.ArrayList<E>,​E>
        Overrides:
        set in class ArrayList<E>
        Parameters:
        index - The position
        element - The new element
        allowDependentField - Whether to allow dependent-field deletes
        Returns:
        The element previously at that position
      • set

        public E set​(int index,

      • writeReplace

        protected java.lang.Object writeReplace()
                                         throws java.io.ObjectStreamException
        Description copied from class: ArrayList
        The writeReplace method is called when ObjectOutputStream is preparing to write the object to the stream. The ObjectOutputStream checks whether the class defines the writeReplace method. If the method is defined, the writeReplace method is called to allow the object to designate its replacement in the stream. The object returned should be either of the same type as the object passed in or an object that when read and resolved will result in an object of a type that is compatible with all references to the object.
        Overrides:
        writeReplace in class ArrayList<E>
        Returns:
        the replaced object
        Throws:
        java.io.ObjectStreamException - if an error occurs
