Class LazyMapMap<PRIMARY_KEY,SECONDARY_KEY,ITEM>

java.lang.Object

java.util.AbstractMap<K,V>

java.util.HashMap<PRIMARY_KEY,Map<SECONDARY_KEY,ITEM>>

cz.cuni.amis.utils.maps.LazyMapMap<PRIMARY_KEY,SECONDARY_KEY,ITEM>

Type Parameters:

PRIMARY_KEY -

SECONDARY_KEY -

ITEM -

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Map<PRIMARY_KEY,Map<SECONDARY_KEY,ITEM>>

public abstract class LazyMapMap<PRIMARY_KEY,SECONDARY_KEY,ITEM>
extends HashMap<PRIMARY_KEY,Map<SECONDARY_KEY,ITEM>>

Map containing other maps. Whenever a map under some key is requested and does not exists, the HashMapMap automatically creates new one.

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