The "split map" concept is that of an object that implements the Put
and Get
interfaces, with differing generic types. This is like a pre-generics Map
whose input key/value constraints are different than its output key/value constraints. While it would be possible to declare a "split map" with matching input/output key/value constraints, this would be a Map
and would therefore make little sense (any Commons Collections Map
implementation will also implement Put
and Get
with matching generic parameters).
The following decorators are provided:
- Transformed - transforms each element added
