Class SoftArrayList

java.lang.Object
  nl.knowledgeplaza.util.SoftArrayList

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Iterable, java.util.Collection, java.util.List

public class SoftArrayList
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.List

An arraylist storing its contents using SoftReferences. A dead reference returns null, therefore storing null as an explicit value is not allowed. The user should call "garbageCollect" on a some what regular basis to make sure the dead wood gets cleaned out. However iterator(), removeAll() and retainAll() also do a garbageCollect prior or after the operation.
