Class BijectiveMap<K,V>

java.lang.Object
  java.util.AbstractMap<K,V>
      org.mmbase.util.BijectiveMap<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Map<K,V>

public class BijectiveMap<K,V>
extends AbstractMap<K,V>
implements Serializable

A map representing a 1-1 bijective relation between 2 sets of values. So, this map can be turned around (getInverse()). resulting another BijectiveMap, but with keys an values switched.

Since:

MMBase-1.9.1
