public class WeakHashSet<E> extends AbstractSet<E> implements CheckedCollection<E>
A set of objects hold by weak references. An entry in aWeakHashSet
will automatically be removed when it is no longer in ordinary use. More precisely, the presence of an entry will not prevent the entry from being discarded by the garbage collector, that is, made finalizable, finalized, and then reclaimed. When an entry has been discarded it is effectively removed from the set, so this class behaves somewhat differently than otherSet
implementations.If you would like to use
WeakHashSet
as inside a factory to prevent creating duplicate immutable objects, please look at theCanonicalSet
subclass.The
WeakHashSet
class is thread-safe.- Since:
- 2.0

WeakHashSet
public WeakHashSet(Class<E> type)
Constructs aWeakHashSet
.- Parameters:
type
- The type of the element to be included in this set.- Since:
- 2.5
-
-
Method Detail
-
getElementType
public Class<E> getElementType()
Returns the element type.- Specified by:
getElementType
in interfaceCheckedCollection<E>
- Returns:
- The element type.
- Since:
- 2.5
-
size
public int size()
Returns the count of element in this set.
-
contains
public boolean contains(Object obj)
Returnstrue
if this set contains the specified element.
-
remove
public boolean remove(Object obj)
Removes a single instance of the specified element from this set, if it is present
-
add
public boolean add(E obj)
Adds the specified element to this set if it is not already present. If this set already contains the specified element, the call leaves this set unchanged and returnsfalse
.
-
clear
public void clear()
Removes all of the elements from this set.
-
toArray
public E[] toArray()
Returns a view of this set as an array. Elements will be in an arbitrary order. Note that this array contains strong reference. Consequently, no object reclamation will occurs as long as a reference to this array is hold.
-
iterator
public Iterator<E> iterator()
Returns an iterator over the elements contained in this collection. No element from this set will be garbage collected as long as a reference to the iterator is hold.
