Class NamedSet<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - the type of value stored

    public class NamedSet<T>
    extends LockSupport
    Simple, thread-safe associative array that relates a name to a value. Names are case-insensitive. This is optimized to use less memory (than a CaseInsensitiveMap (it uses a singly-liked list), though the cost of a lookup is more expensive. However, this is a good match against many of the structures inside a page instance, where most lookups occur only during page constructions, and the number of values is often small. Each NameSet has its own ReadWriteLock.
