- Direct Known Subclasses:
- Factories.SerialCollectionFactory, ListFactory, SetFactory
- public abstract class CollectionFactory
- extends java.lang.Object
CollectionFactory is a Collection
generator. Subclasses should implement constructions of specific
types of Collections.
Note that since some types of Collections have
implicit constraints (such as Sets, which cannot
contain more than one of the same element), code which uses the
classes produced by CollectionFactorys must take care
not to assume more than what is guaranteed by the
Collection interface.

public final java.util.Collection makeCollection()
- Generates a new, mutable, empty
Collection.
makeCollection
public java.util.Collection makeCollection(int initialCapacity)
- Generates a new, mutable, empty
Collection, using
initialCapacity as a hint to use for the capacity
for the produced Collection.
makeCollection
public abstract java.util.Collection makeCollection(java.util.Collection c)
- Generates a new, mutable
Collection, using the
elements of c as a template for its initial
contents. Note that the Collection returned is
not a view of c, but rather a snapshot;
changes to c are not reflected in the returned
Collection.
