Class ResultSet<E extends Result>

java.lang.Object
java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
org.xmpp.resultsetmanagement.ResultSet<E>
Type Parameters:
E - Each result set should be a collection of instances of the exact same class. This class must implement the Result interface.
All Implemented Interfaces:
Iterable<E>, Collection<E>
Direct Known Subclasses:
ResultSetImpl
public abstract class ResultSet<E extends Result> extends AbstractCollection<E>
A result set representation as described in XEP-0059. A result set is a collection of objects that each have a unique identifier (UID). It's expected that some implementations will have the complete result set loaded into memory, whereas more complex implementations might keep references to partial sets only. This latter would have considerable advantages if the result set is extremely large, or if the operation to get all results in the set is expensive.

    • getAfter

      public List<E> getAfter(E result, int maxAmount)
      Returns a List of results starting with the first result after the provided result (the returned List is exclusive). The lenght of the list is equal to 'maxAmount', unless there are no more elements available (in which case the length of the result will be truncated).
      Parameters:
      result - The element that is right before the first element in the result.
      maxAmount - The maximum number of elements to return.
      Returns:
      A List of elements the are exactly after the element that is provided as a parameter.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the result does not exist in the result set.

    • getAfter

      public abstract List<E> getAfter(String uid, int maxAmount)
      Returns a List of results starting with the first result after the result that's identified by the provided UID (the returned List is exclusive). The lenght of the list is equal to 'maxAmount', unless there are no more elements available (in which case the length of the result will be truncated).
      Parameters:
      uid - The UID of the element that is right before the first element in the result.
      maxAmount - The maximum number of elements to return.
      Returns:
      A List of elements the are exactly after the element that is provided as a parameter.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if there is no result in the result set that matches the UID.

    • getBefore

      public List<E> getBefore(E result, int maxAmount)
      Returns a list of results ending with the element right before the provided result (the returned List is exclusive). At most 'maxAmount' elements are in the returned List, but the lenght of the result might be smaller if no more applicable elements are available. Note that the order of the result is equal to the order of the results of other methods of this class: the last element in the returned List immediately preceeds the element denoted by the 'result' parameter.
      Parameters:
      result - The element preceding the last element returned by this function.
      maxAmount - The length of the List that is being returned.
      Returns:
      A List of elements that are exactly before the element that's provided as a parameter.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the result does not exist in the result set.

    • getBefore

      public abstract List<E> getBefore(String uid, int maxAmount)
      Returns a list of results ending with the element right before the element identified by the provided UID (the returned List is exclusive). At most 'maxAmount' elements are in the returned List, but the lenght of the result might be smaller if no more applicable elements are available. Note that the order of the result is equal to the order of the results of other methods of this class: the last element in the returned List immediately preceeds the element denoted by the 'result' parameter.
      Parameters:
      uid - The UID of the element preceding the last element returned by this function.
      maxAmount - The length of the List that is being returned.
      Returns:
      A List of elements that are exactly before the element that's provided as a parameter.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if there is no result in the result set that matches the UID.

    • get

      public abstract List<E> get(int fromIndex, int maxAmount)

If the supplied index is equal to, or larger than the size of the result set, an empty List is returned.
      Parameters:
      fromIndex - The index of the first element to be returned.
      maxAmount - The maximum number of elements to return.
      Returns:
      A list of elements starting with (inclusive) the element referenced by 'fromIndex'. An empty List if startIndex is equal to or bigger than the size of this entire result set.

      Returns:
      An Element named 'set' that can be included in the result IQ stanza, which returns the subset of results.

    • isValidRSMRequest

      public static boolean isValidRSMRequest(org.dom4j.Element rsmElement)
      Checks if the Element that has been passed as an argument is a valid Result Set Management element, in a request context.
