Class LinearMap<K,V>

java.lang.Object
  nl.knowledgeplaza.util.LinearMap<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.util.Map<K,V>

Direct Known Subclasses:

JdbcUtil.JdbcMap, ParameterSet

public class LinearMap<K,V>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Map<K,V>, java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

LinearMap is a simplistic light-weight Map designed for use when the number of entries is small. It is backed by a ArrayList. TreeMap is not a 100% replacement, since TreeMap does not allow for NULL as a key.
