| <BODY> |
| <p> |
| This package contains implementations of the |
| {@link org.apache.commons.collections.Buffer Buffer} interface. |
| <p> |
| The following implementations are provided in the package: |
| <ul> |
| <li>PriorityBuffer - provides for removal based on a comparator ordering |
| <li>BoundedFifoBuffer - implements a buffer with a fixed size that throws exceptions when full |
| <li>CircularFifoBuffer - implements a buffer with a fixed size that discards oldest when full |
| <li>UnboundedFifoBuffer - implements a buffer that grows in size if necessary |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| The following decorators are provided in the package: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Synchronized - synchronizes method access for multi-threaded environments |
| <li>Unmodifiable - ensures the collection cannot be altered |
| <li>Predicated - ensures that only elements that are valid according to a predicate can be added |
| <li>Typed - ensures that only elements that are of a specific type can be added |
| <li>Transformed - transforms elements added to the buffer |
| <li>Blocking - blocks on get and remove until an element is available |
| </ul> |
| </pre> |
