Constructor Detail

CollectionUtils

public CollectionUtils()
Method Detail

isEmpty

public static boolean isEmpty(Collection collection)
Return true if the supplied Collection is null or empty. Otherwise, return false.

Parameters:
collection - the Collection to check

isEmpty

public static boolean isEmpty(Map map)
Return true if the supplied Map is null or empty. Otherwise, return false.

Parameters:
map - the Map to check

containsInstance

public static boolean containsInstance(Collection collection,
                                       Object element)
Check whether the given Collection contains the given element instance.

Enforces the given instance to be present, rather than returning true for an equal element as well.

Parameters:
collection - the Collection to check
element - the element to look for
Returns:
true if found, false else

contains

public static boolean contains(Iterator iterator,
                               Object element)
Check whether the given Iterator contains the given element.

Parameters:
iterator - the Iterator to check
element - the element to look for
Returns:
true if found, false else

contains

public static boolean contains(Enumeration enumeration,
                               Object element)
Check whether the given Enumeration contains the given element.

Parameters:
enumeration - the Enumeration to check
element - the element to look for
Returns:
true if found, false else

hasUniqueObject

public static boolean hasUniqueObject(Collection collection)
Determine whether the given Collection only contains a single unique object.

Parameters:
collection - the Collection to check
Returns:
true if the collection contains a single reference or multiple references to the same instance, false else

findValueOfType

public static Object findValueOfType(Collection collection,
                                     Class type)
                              throws IllegalArgumentException
Find a value of the given type in the given Collection.

Parameters:
collection - the Collection to search
type - the type to look for
Returns:
a value of the given type found, or null if none
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if more than one value of the given type found

findValueOfType

public static Object findValueOfType(Collection collection,
                                     Class[] types)
                              throws IllegalArgumentException
Find a value of one of the given types in the given Collection: searching the Collection for a value of the first type, then searching for a value of the second type, etc.

Parameters:
collection - the collection to search
types - the types to look for, in prioritized order
Returns:
a of one of the given types found, or null if none
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if more than one value of the given type found

arrayToList

public static List arrayToList(Object source)
Convert the supplied array into a List. Primitive arrays are correctly converted into Lists of the appropriate wrapper type.

Parameters:
source - the original array
Returns:
the converted List result

mergePropertiesIntoMap

public static void mergePropertiesIntoMap(Properties props,
                                          Map map)
Merge the given Properties instance into the given Map, copying all properties (key-value pairs) over.

Uses Properties.propertyNames() to even catch default properties linked into the original Properties instance.

Parameters:
props - the Properties instance to merge (may be null)
map - the target Map to merge the properties into

containsAny

public static boolean containsAny(Collection source,
                                  Collection candidates)
Return true if any element in 'candidates' is contained in 'source'; otherwise returns false.


findFirstMatch

public static Object findFirstMatch(Collection source,
                                    Collection candidates)
Return the first element in 'candidates' that is contained in 'source'. If no element in 'candidates' is present in 'source' returns null. Iteration order is Collection implementation specific.
