Class CollectionFactory


  • public abstract class CollectionFactory
extends Object
    Factory for collections, being aware of Java 5 and Java 6 collections. Mainly for internal use within the framework.

    The goal of this class is to avoid runtime dependencies on a specific Java version, while nevertheless using the best collection implementation that is available at runtime.

    Since:
    1.1.1

      • createLinkedSetIfPossible

        @Deprecated
public static <T> Set<T> createLinkedSetIfPossible(int initialCapacity)
        Deprecated.  as of Spring 2.5, for usage on JDK 1.4 or higher
        Create a linked Set if possible: This implementation always creates a LinkedHashSet, since Spring 2.5 requires JDK 1.4 anyway.
        Parameters:
        initialCapacity - the initial capacity of the Set
        Returns:
        the new Set instance

      • createCopyOnWriteSet

        @Deprecated
public static <T> Set<T> createCopyOnWriteSet()
        Deprecated.  as of Spring 3.0, for usage on JDK 1.5 or higher
        Create a copy-on-write Set (allowing for synchronization-less iteration) if possible: This implementation always creates a CopyOnWriteArraySet, since Spring 3 requires JDK 1.5 anyway.
        Returns:
        the new Set instance

      • createLinkedMapIfPossible

        @Deprecated

public static Map createIdentityMapIfPossible(int initialCapacity)
        Deprecated.  as of Spring 2.5, for usage on JDK 1.4 or higher
        Create an identity Map if possible: This implementation always creates a IdentityHashMap, since Spring 2.5 requires JDK 1.4 anyway.
        Parameters:
        initialCapacity - the initial capacity of the Map
        Returns:
        the new Map instance

      • createConcurrentMapIfPossible

        @Deprecated
public static Map createConcurrentMapIfPossible(int initialCapacity)
        Deprecated.  as of Spring 3.0, for usage on JDK 1.5 or higher
        Create a concurrent Map if possible: This implementation always creates a ConcurrentHashMap, since Spring 3.0 requires JDK 1.5 anyway.
        Parameters:
        initialCapacity - the initial capacity of the Map
        Returns:
        the new Map instance

      • createConcurrentMap

        @Deprecated
public static ConcurrentMap createConcurrentMap(int initialCapacity)
        Deprecated.  as of Spring 3.0, for usage on JDK 1.5 or higher
        Create a concurrent Map with a dedicated ConcurrentMap interface: This implementation always creates a ConcurrentHashMap, since Spring 3.0 requires JDK 1.5 anyway.
        Parameters:
        initialCapacity - the initial capacity of the Map
        Returns:
        the new ConcurrentMap instance

      • isApproximableCollectionType
