Method Details

contains

boolean contains(AtomicObject value)

Returns true if the order contains the specified value.

Parameters:

value - value whose presence in this order is to be tested.

Returns:

true if this order contains the specified element.

getOrderValues

AtomicObject[] getOrderValues()

getOrderValues.

Returns:

an array of all values in the order, the array is never be null.

isAfter

boolean isAfter(AtomicObject first,
 AtomicObject last)
         throws ObjectNotFoundException

isAfter.

Parameters:

first - a AtomicObject object

last - a AtomicObject object

Returns:

true if first is after last, otherwise false

Throws:

ObjectNotFoundException - Is thrown when the first or last value is not an element of the order.

isBefore

boolean isBefore(AtomicObject first,
 AtomicObject last)
          throws ObjectNotFoundException

isBefore.

Parameters:

first - a AtomicObject object

last - a AtomicObject object

Returns:

true if first is before last, otherwise false

Throws:

ObjectNotFoundException - Is thrown when the first or last value is not an element of the order.

remove

void remove(AtomicObject value)
     throws ObjectNotFoundException

Removes a value from the value order. If value == null nothing happens. If the value order does not cotain the value a ObjectNotFoundException will be thrown.

Parameters:

value - a AtomicObject object

Throws:

ObjectNotFoundException - Is thrown when the value is not an element of the order.

update

void update(AtomicObject oldValue,
 AtomicObject newValue)
     throws ObjectNotFoundException,
ObjectAlreadyExistsException

To update a value in the order the oldValue and the newValue must be specified. The newValue is only be applied if and only if the order contains the oldValue and the order not contains the newValue.

Parameters:

oldValue - a AtomicObject object

newValue - a AtomicObject object

Throws:

ObjectNotFoundException - Is thrown when the oldValue is not an element of the order.

ObjectAlreadyExistsException - Is thrown when the newValue is already in the order.
