Beware that Maps and non-List Collections perform O(n) scans just to give you the property you were looking for. Lists, Indexed, and arrays are always O(1). <p>You can easily create a CollectionProperties object by passing in the appropriate object to examine. From then on, you can get the number of "Properties" (in this case, objects in the set), and retrieve the "Name" and the value of each Property, plus other information. <p> This class allows you to set and get properties on the object via boxing the property (java.lang.Integer for int, for example). You can also pass in a String, and SimpleProperties will parse the appropriate value out of the string automatically without you having to bother checking the type. arrays, Maps, Indexed, and Lists can have property values set. Other Collections cannot have values set. <p>If any errors arise from generating the properties, setting them, or getting their values, then typically null is returned. */ public class CollectionProperties extends Properties { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1; Collection collection; Map map; Indexed indexed; boolean isVolatile; public boolean isVolatile() { return isVolatile; } /** Object can be a Collection, a List, a Map, an Indexed, or an array. */ public CollectionProperties(Object o) { // we have to have one unified constructor rather than separate ones because // constructor polymorphism doesn't consider interfaces.
