Constructor Detail

### SimpleBindings

    public SimpleBindings(Map<String,Object> m)

  Constructor uses an existing `Map` to store the values.

  Parameters:
    `m` - The `Map` backing this `SimpleBindings`.
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if m is null

### SimpleBindings

    public SimpleBindings()

  Default constructor uses a `HashMap`.

Method Detail

### put

    public Object put(String name,
                      Object value)

  Sets the specified key/value in the underlying `map` field.

  Specified by:
    `put` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
  Specified by:
    `put` in interface `Bindings`
  Parameters:
    `name` - Name of value
    `value` - Value to set.
  Returns:
    Previous value for the specified key. Returns null if key was previously unset.
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if the name is null.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the name is empty.

### putAll

    public void putAll(Map<? extends String,? extends Object> toMerge)

  `putAll` is implemented using `Map.putAll`.

  Specified by:
    `putAll` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
  Specified by:
    `putAll` in interface `Bindings`
  Parameters:
    `toMerge` - The `Map` of values to add.
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if toMerge map is null or if some key in the map is null.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if some key in the map is an empty String.

### clear

    public void clear()

  Removes all of the mappings from this map (optional operation). The map will be empty after this call returns.

  Specified by:
    `clear` in interface `Map<String,Object>`

### containsKey

    public boolean containsKey(Object key)

  Returns `true` if this map contains a mapping for the specified key. More formally, returns `true` if and only if this map contains a mapping for a key `k` such that `(key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k))`. (There can be at most one such mapping.)

  Specified by:
    `containsKey` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
  Specified by:
    `containsKey` in interface `Bindings`
  Parameters:
    `key` - key whose presence in this map is to be tested.
  Returns:
    `true` if this map contains a mapping for the specified key.
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if key is null
    `ClassCastException` - if key is not String
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if key is empty String

### containsValue

    public boolean containsValue(Object value)

  Returns `true` if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value. More formally, returns `true` if and only if this map contains at least one mapping to a value `v` such that `(value==null ? v==null : value.equals(v))`. This operation will probably require time linear in the map size for most implementations of the `Map` interface.

  Specified by:
    `containsValue` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
  Parameters:
    `value` - value whose presence in this map is to be tested
  Returns:
    `true` if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value

### entrySet

    public Set<Map.Entry<String,Object>> entrySet()

  Returns a `Set` view of the mappings contained in this map. The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the map is modified while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through the iterator's own `remove` operation, or through the `setValue` operation on a map entry returned by the iterator) the results of the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the `Iterator.remove`, `Set.remove`, `removeAll`, `retainAll` and `clear` operations. It does not support the `add` or `addAll` operations.

  Specified by:
    `entrySet` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
  Returns:
    a set view of the mappings contained in this map

### get

    public Object get(Object key)

  Returns the value to which this map maps the specified key. Returns `null` if the map contains no mapping for this key. A return value of `null` does not necessarily indicate that the map contains no mapping for the key; it's also possible that the map explicitly maps the key to `null`. The `containsKey` operation may be used to distinguish these two cases.

  More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key `k` to a value `v` such that `(key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k))`, then this method returns `v`; otherwise it returns `null`. (There can be at most one such mapping.)

  Specified by:
    `get` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
  Specified by:
    `get` in interface `Bindings`
  Parameters:
    `key` - key whose associated value is to be returned.
  Returns:
    the value to which this map maps the specified key, or `null` if the map contains no mapping for this key.
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if key is null
    `ClassCastException` - if key is not String
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if key is empty String

### isEmpty

    public boolean isEmpty()

  Returns `true` if this map contains no key-value mappings.

  Specified by:
    `isEmpty` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
  Returns:
    `true` if this map contains no key-value mappings

### keySet

    public Set<String> keySet()

  Returns a `Set` view of the keys contained in this map. The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the map is modified while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through the iterator's own `remove` operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the `Iterator.remove`, `Set.remove`, `removeAll`, `retainAll`, and `clear` operations. It does not support the `add` or `addAll` operations.

  Specified by:
    `keySet` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
  Returns:
    a set view of the keys contained in this map

### remove

    public Object remove(Object key)

  Removes the mapping for this key from this map if it is present (optional operation). More formally, if this map contains a mapping from key `k` to value `v` such that `(key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k))`, that mapping is removed. (The map can contain at most one such mapping.)

  Returns the value to which the map previously associated the key, or `null` if the map contained no mapping for this key. (A `null` return can also indicate that the map previously associated `null` with the specified key if the implementation supports `null` values.) The map will not contain a mapping for the specified key once the call returns.

  Specified by:
    `remove` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
  Specified by:
    `remove` in interface `Bindings`
  Parameters:
    `key` - key whose mapping is to be removed from the map.
  Returns:
    previous value associated with specified key, or `null` if there was no mapping for key.
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if key is null
    `ClassCastException` - if key is not String
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if key is empty String

### size

    public int size()

  Returns the number of key-value mappings in this map. If the map contains more than `Integer.MAX_VALUE` elements, returns `Integer.MAX_VALUE`.

  Specified by:
    `size` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
  Returns:
    the number of key-value mappings in this map

### values

    public Collection<Object> values()

  Returns a `Collection` view of the values contained in this map. The collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. If the map is modified while an iteration over the collection is in progress (except through the iterator's own `remove` operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the `Iterator.remove`, `Collection.remove`, `removeAll`, `retainAll` and `clear` operations. It does not support the `add` or `addAll` operations.

  Specified by:
    `values` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
  Returns:
    a collection view of the values contained in this map
