Class HashMapSet<KEY,ITEM>

java.lang.Object

java.util.AbstractMap<K,V>

java.util.HashMap<KEY,Set<ITEM>>

cz.cuni.amis.utils.maps.HashMapSet<KEY,ITEM>

Type Parameters:

KEY -

ITEM -

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Map<KEY,Set<ITEM>>

public class HashMapSet<KEY,ITEM>
extends HashMap<KEY,Set<ITEM>>

Map containing sets. Whenever a set under some key is requested and does not exists, the HashMapSet automatically creates new one.

The implementation is unsynchronized, created sets are synchronized (just iteration over the set must be synchronized by the user as described in Java(tm) documentation).
