Class ImmutableListCopy<E>

java.lang.Object
  java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
      java.util.AbstractList<E>
          org.infinispan.util.ImmutableListCopy<E>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Externalizable, Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, List<E>, Immutables.Immutable

@Immutable
public class ImmutableListCopy<E>
extends AbstractList<E>
implements Externalizable, Immutables.Immutable

A lightweight, read-only copy of a List. Typically used in place of the common idiom: return Collections.unmodifiableList(new ArrayList( myInternalList ));

a it is far more efficient than making a defensive copy and then wrapping the defensive copy in a read-only wrapper.

Also used whenever a read-only reference List is needed.

Since:

4.0
