 jaxx.ClassMap
| ClassMap | | public class ClassMap extends HashMap (Code) | | A Map implementation which uses Classes as keys. ClassMap differs from typical maps
in that it takes subclasses into account; mapping a class to a value also maps all subclasses of
that class to the value.
A get operation will return the value associated with the class itself, or failing
that, with its nearest ancestor for which there exists a mapping.
|
| Method Summary | |
| public Object | get(Object key)
Returns the value associated with the key Class. | | public Object | put(Object key, Object value)
Associates a value with a class and all of its descendents. |
| get | | public Object get(Object key)(Code) | | Returns the value associated with the key Class. If the class itself does not have
a mapping, its superclass will be checked, and so on until an ancestor class with a mapping is
located. If none of the class' ancestors have a mapping, null is returned.
Parameters:
key - the class to check the mapping for the class |
| put | | public Object put(Object key, Object value)(Code) | | Associates a value with a class and all of its descendents.
Parameters:
key - the class to map
Parameters:
