Interface TransactionalSet<E>

Type Parameters:

E - type of element.

public interface TransactionalSet<E>

Transactional Set data structure.

A TransactionalSet is implemented with the help of TransactionalMap data structure. All operations performed on this set within a transaction boundary are invisible externally until the point when the transaction commits. A commit usually succeeds in the absence of conflicts.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	add(E e) Adds the specified element to this set if it is not already present (optional operation).
boolean	contains(E e) Returns true if this set contains the specified element.
boolean	remove(E e) Removes the specified element from this set if it is present (optional operation).

Method Detail

add

boolean add(E e)

Adds the specified element to this set if it is not already present (optional operation). More formally, adds the specified element e to this set if the set contains no element e2 such that (e==null ? e2==null : e.equals(e2)). If this set already contains the element, the call leaves the set unchanged and returns false. In combination with the restriction on constructors, this ensures that sets never contain duplicate elements.

Parameters:

e - element to be added to this set

Returns:

true if this set did not already contain the specified element

remove

boolean remove(E e)

Removes the specified element from this set if it is present (optional operation). More formally, removes an element e such that (o==null ? e==null : o.equals(e)), if this set contains such an element. Returns true if this set contained the element (or equivalently, if this set changed as a result of the call). (This set will not contain the element once the call returns.)

Parameters:

e - element to be removed to this set

Returns:

true if this set contained the specified element

contains

boolean contains(E e)

Returns true if this set contains the specified element. More formally, returns true if and only if this set contains an element e such that (o==null ? e==null : o.equals(e)).

Parameters:

e - element whose presence in this set is to be tested

Returns:

true if this set contains the specified element

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - if the type of the specified element is incompatible with this set

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified element is null and this set does not permit null elements
