Constructor Detail

SimpleClassHierarchieMap

public SimpleClassHierarchieMap()

The constructor.

SimpleClassHierarchieMap

public SimpleClassHierarchieMap(MapFactory<Map> mapFactory)

The constructor.

Parameters:

mapFactory - is the factory used to create the internal Map.

Method Detail

put

public E put(Class<?> type,
             E element)

This method registers the given element for the given type. Unlike a regular Map this method will also recursively put the given element for all super-classes and super-interfaces of the given type.

Overrides:

put in class AbstractClassHierarchieMap<E>

Parameters:

type - is the Class used as key to associate the given element.

element - is the element to put.

Returns:

the element that was associated directly with the given type and has NOW been replaced with element.
