public class DefaultedMap<K,V> extends AbstractMapDecorator<K,V> implements java.io.Serializable
Map
returning a default value if the map
does not contain the requested key.
When the get(Object)
method is called with a key that does not
exist in the map, this map will return the default value specified in
the constructor/factory. Only the get method is altered, so the
Map.containsKey(Object)
can be used to determine if a key really
is in the map or not.
The defaulted value is not added to the map.
Compare this behaviour with LazyMap
, which does add the value
to the map (via a Transformer).
For instance:
Map map = new DefaultedMap("NULL"); Object obj = map.get("Surname"); // obj == "NULL"After the above code is executed the map is still empty.
Note that DefaultedMap 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.
