Interface Buffer
- Collection
- ArrayStack
public interface Buffer
extends Collection
Defines a collection that allows objects to be removed in some well-defined order.
The removal order can be based on insertion order (eg, a FIFO queue or a
LIFO stack), on access order (eg, an LRU cache), on some arbitrary comparator
(eg, a priority queue) or on any other well-defined ordering.
Note that the removal order is not necessarily the same as the iteration
order. A
Buffer
implementation may have equivalent removal
and iteration orders, but this is not required.
This interface does not specify any behavior for
Object.equals(Object)
and
Object.hashCode
methods. It
is therefore possible for a
Buffer
implementation to also
also implement
java.util.List
,
java.util.Set
or
Bag
.
Note: this class should be bytecode-identical to the
version in commons collections. This is required to allow backwards
compability with both previous versions of BeanUtils and also allow
coexistance with both collections 2.1 and 3.0.
