java.lang.Object java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList<E>
E
- the type of elements held in this collectionpublic class CopyOnWriteArrayList<E>
A thread-safe variant of ArrayList
in which all mutative
operations (add, set, and so on) are implemented by
making a fresh copy of the underlying array.
This is ordinarily too costly, but may be more efficient than alternatives when traversal operations vastly outnumber mutations, and is useful when you cannot or don't want to synchronize traversals, yet need to preclude interference among concurrent threads. The "snapshot" style iterator method uses a reference to the state of the array at the point that the iterator was created. This array never changes during the lifetime of the iterator, so interference is impossible and the iterator is guaranteed not to throw ConcurrentModificationException. The iterator will not reflect additions, removals, or changes to the list since the iterator was created. Element-changing operations on iterators themselves (remove, set, and add) are not supported. These methods throw UnsupportedOperationException.
All elements are permitted, including null.
Memory consistency effects: As with other concurrent
collections, actions in a thread prior to placing an object into a
CopyOnWriteArrayList
happen-before
actions subsequent to the access or removal of that element from
the CopyOnWriteArrayList
in another thread.
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

public Object[] toArray()
The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this list. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.
This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.
Arrays.asList(Object[])
public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a)
If this list fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this list), the element in the array immediately following the end of the list is set to null. (This is useful in determining the length of this list only if the caller knows that this list does not contain any null elements.)
Like the toArray()
method, this method acts as bridge between
array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows
precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may,
under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.
Suppose x is a list known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the list into a newly allocated array of String:
String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);Note that toArray(new Object[0]) is identical in function to toArray().

public boolean equals(Object o)
true
if the specified object is the same object
as this object, or if it is also a List
and the sequence
of elements returned by an iterator
over the specified list is the same as the sequence returned by
an iterator over this list. The two sequences are considered to
be the same if they have the same length and corresponding
elements at the same position in the sequence are equal.
Two elements e1
and e2
are considered
equal if (e1==null ? e2==null : e1.equals(e2))

public Iterator<E> iterator()
The returned iterator provides a snapshot of the state of the list when the iterator was constructed. No synchronization is needed while traversing the iterator. The iterator does NOT support the remove method.
public ListIterator<E> listIterator()
The returned iterator provides a snapshot of the state of the list when the iterator was constructed. No synchronization is needed while traversing the iterator. The iterator does NOT support the remove, set or add methods.

An initial call to previous

return the element with the specified index minus one.
The returned iterator provides a snapshot of the state of the list when the iterator was constructed. No synchronization is needed while traversing the iterator. The iterator does NOT support the remove, set or add methods.

list iterator (by a call to the next method)
IndexOutOfBoundsException

(index < 0 || index > size())public List<E> subList(int fromIndex, int toIndex)
The semantics of the list returned by this method become undefined if the backing list (i.e., this list) is structurally modified in any way other than via the returned list. (Structural modifications are those that change the size of the list, or otherwise perturb it in such a fashion that iterations in progress may yield incorrect results.)
fromIndex
- low endpoint (inclusive) of the subListtoIndex
- high endpoint (exclusive) of the subList
IndexOutOfBoundsException
- for an illegal endpoint index value

fromIndex > toIndex)
