All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Set<E>

public class WeakObjectRegistry<E>
extends AbstractSet<E>

An object registry that uses weak references to keep track of the stored objects. The registry can be used to retrieve stored objects using another, equivalent object. As such, it can be used to prevent the use of duplicates in another data structure, reducing memory usage. The objects that are being stored should properly implement the Object.equals(java.lang.Object) and Object.hashCode() methods.

Constructor Summary

WeakObjectRegistry()
Constructs a new, empty object registry.

WeakObjectRegistry(Collection<? extends E> c)
Constructs a new WeakObjectRegistry containing the elements in the specified collection.

Method Summary

boolean	add(E object)
void	clear()
boolean	contains(Object o)
E	get(Object key) Retrieves the stored object that is equal to the supplied key object.
Iterator<E>	iterator()
boolean	remove(Object o)
int	size()
