Class TypedMap


  • @Deprecated(since="2021-04-30")
    public class TypedMap
    extends java.lang.Object
    Deprecated.
    Apache Commons Collections version 3.x is being deprecated from AEMaaCS. The upgraded version 4.4 of Commons Collections is already included as replacement. Customers are advised to upgrade to this version of the library. Please note: the package name was changed to org.apache.commons.collections4. Further note that there are AEM APIs currently exposing the old collections classes; these will be updated in upcoming releases.
    Decorates another Map to validate that elements added are of a specific type.

    The validation of additions is performed via an instanceof test against a specified Class. If an object cannot be added to the collection, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

    Note that TypedMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe. If you wish to use this map from multiple threads concurrently, you must use appropriate synchronization. The simplest approach is to wrap this map using Collections.synchronizedMap(Map). This class may throw exceptions when accessed by concurrent threads without synchronization.

    The returned implementation is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

    Since:
    Commons Collections 3.0
