Class PredicatedList

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Iterable, java.util.Collection, java.util.List

    public class PredicatedList
    extends PredicatedCollection
    implements java.util.List
    Decorates another List to validate that all additions match a specified predicate.

    This list exists to provide validation for the decorated list. It is normally created to decorate an empty list. If an object cannot be added to the list, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

    One usage would be to ensure that no null entries are added to the list.

    List list = PredicatedList.decorate(new ArrayList(), NotNullPredicate.INSTANCE);

    This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

        protected PredicatedList​(java.util.List list,
                                 Predicate predicate)
        Constructor that wraps (not copies).

        If there are any elements already in the list being decorated, they are validated.

        Parameters:
        list - the list to decorate, must not be null
        predicate - the predicate to use for validation, must not be null
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if list or predicate is null
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the list contains invalid elements
