Calculates the index that would be used in this TabularData instance to refer to the specified composite data value parameter if it were added to this instance.

  Calculates the index that would be used in this TabularData instance to refer to the specified
composite data value parameter if it were added to this instance.
This method checks for the type validity of the specified value,
but does not check if the calculated index is already used to refer to a value in this TabularData instance.
Returns: the index that the specified value would have in this TabularData instance.
Parameters:
- value - the composite data value whose index in this TabularData instance is to be calculated; must be of the same composite type as this instance's row type; must not be null.
Throws:
- NullPointerException - if value is null.
- InvalidOpenTypeException - if value does not conform to this TabularData instance's row type definition.

Removes all rows from this TabularDataSupport instance.

  Returns a clone of this TabularDataSupport instance: the clone is obtained by calling super.clone(), and then cloning the underlying map.

  Returns a clone of this TabularDataSupport instance:
the clone is obtained by calling super.clone(), and then cloning the underlying map.
Only a shallow clone of the underlying map is made, i.e. no cloning of the indexes and row values is made as they are immutable.

  Returns true if and only if this TabularData instance contains a CompositeData value (ie a row) whose index is the specified key.

  Returns true if and only if this TabularData instance contains a CompositeData value
(ie a row) whose index is the specified key. If key cannot be cast to a one dimension array
of Object instances, this method simply returns false; otherwise it returns the the result of the call to
this.containsKey((Object[]) key).
Returns: true if this TabularData indexes a row value with the specified key.
Parameters:
- key - the index value whose presence in this TabularData instance is to be tested.

  Returns true if and only if this TabularData instance contains a CompositeData value (ie a row) whose index is the specified key.

  Returns true if and only if this TabularData instance contains a CompositeData value
(ie a row) whose index is the specified key. If key is null or does not conform to
this TabularData instance's TabularType definition, this method simply returns false.
Returns: true if this TabularData indexes a row value with the specified key.
Parameters:
- key - the index value whose presence in this TabularData instance is to be tested.

  Returns true if and only if this TabularData instance contains the specified CompositeData value.

  Returns a collection view of the index to row mappings contained in this TabularDataSupport instance.

  Returns a collection view of the index to row mappings contained in this TabularDataSupport instance. Each element in the returned collection is a Map.Entry<List<?>,CompositeData> but is declared as a Map.Entry<Object,Object> for compatibility reasons. Each of the map entry keys is an unmodifiable List<?>. The collection is backed by the underlying map of this TabularDataSupport instance, so changes to the TabularDataSupport instance are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove(), Collection.remove(java.lang.Object), Collection.removeAll(java.util.Collection), Collection.retainAll(java.util.Collection), and Collection.clear() operations. It does not support the Collection.add(E) or Collection.addAll(java.util.Collection) operations.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Do not use the setValue method of the Map.Entry elements contained in the returned collection view. Doing so would corrupt the index to row mappings contained in this TabularDataSupport instance.
Returns: a collection view ({@code Set,CompositeData>>}) of the mappings contained in this map.

  Compares the specified obj parameter with this TabularDataSupport instance for equality.

  Compares the specified obj parameter with this TabularDataSupport instance for equality.

Returns true if and only if all of the following statements are true:

• obj is non null,
• obj also implements the TabularData interface,
• their tabular types are equal
• their contents (ie all CompositeData values) are equal.

This ensures that this equals method works properly for obj parameters which are different implementations of the TabularData interface.
 
Returns: true if the specified object is equal to this TabularDataSupport instance.
Parameters:
- obj - the object to be compared for equality with this TabularDataSupport instance;

  This method simply calls get((Object[]) key).

  This method simply calls get((Object[]) key).
Throws:
- NullPointerException - if the key is null
- ClassCastException - if the key is not of the type Object[]
- InvalidKeyException - if the key does not conform to this TabularData instance's TabularType definition

  Returns the CompositeData value whose index is key, or null if there is no value mapping to key, in this TabularData instance.

  Returns the CompositeData value whose index is
key, or null if there is no value mapping
to key, in this TabularData instance.
Returns: the value corresponding to key.
Parameters:
- key - the index of the value to get in this TabularData instance; * must be valid with this TabularData instance's row type definition; * must not be null.
Throws:
- NullPointerException - if the key is null
- InvalidKeyException - if the key does not conform to this TabularData instance's TabularType type definition.

Returns the tabular type describing this TabularData instance.

  Returns the hash code value for this TabularDataSupport instance.

  Returns the hash code value for this TabularDataSupport instance.

The hash code of a TabularDataSupport instance is the sum of the hash codes of all elements of information used in equals comparisons (ie: its tabular type and its content, where the content is defined as all the CompositeData values).

This ensures that t1.equals(t2) implies that t1.hashCode()==t2.hashCode() for any two TabularDataSupport instances t1 and t2, as required by the general contract of the method Object.hashCode().

However, note that another instance of a class implementing the TabularData interface may be equal to this TabularDataSupport instance as defined by TabularDataSupport.equals(java.lang.Object), but may have a different hash code if it is calculated differently.
Returns: the hash code value for this TabularDataSupport instance

  Returns true if this TabularDataSupport instance contains no rows.

  Returns true if this TabularDataSupport instance contains no rows.
Returns: true if this TabularDataSupport instance contains no rows.

  Returns a set view of the keys contained in the underlying map of this TabularDataSupport instance used to index the rows.

  Returns a set view of the keys contained in the underlying map of this
TabularDataSupport instance used to index the rows.
Each key contained in this Set is an unmodifiable List<?>
so the returned set view is a Set<List<?>> but is declared as a
Set<Object> for compatibility reasons.
The set is backed by the underlying map of this
TabularDataSupport instance, so changes to the
TabularDataSupport instance are reflected in the
set, and vice-versa.

The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding
row from this TabularDataSupport instance, via the
Iterator.remove(), Set.remove(java.lang.Object), Set.removeAll(java.util.Collection),
Set.retainAll(java.util.Collection), and Set.clear() operations. It does
not support the Set.add(E) or Set.addAll(java.util.Collection) operations.
Returns: a set view ({@code Set>}) of the keys used to index the rows of this {@code TabularDataSupport} instance.

  This method simply calls put((CompositeData) value) and therefore ignores its key parameter which can be null.

  This method simply calls put((CompositeData) value) and
therefore ignores its key parameter which can be null.
Returns: the value which is put
Parameters:
- key - an ignored parameter.
- value - the {@link CompositeData} to put.
Throws:
- NullPointerException - if the value is null
- ClassCastException - if the value is not of the type CompositeData
- InvalidOpenTypeException - if the value does not conform to this TabularData instance's TabularType definition
- KeyAlreadyExistsException - if the key for the value parameter, calculated according to this TabularData instance's TabularType definition already maps to an existing value

  Add all the elements in values to this TabularData instance.

  Add all the elements in values to this
TabularData instance. If any element in
values does not satisfy the constraints defined in
put, or if any two
elements in values have the same index calculated
according to this TabularData instance's
TabularType definition, then an exception describing
the failure is thrown and no element of values is
added, thus leaving this TabularData instance
unchanged.
Parameters:
- values - the array of composite data values to be added as new rows to this TabularData instance; if values is null or empty, this method returns without doing anything.
Throws:
- NullPointerException - if an element of values is null
- InvalidOpenTypeException - if an element of values does not conform to this TabularData instance's row type definition (ie its TabularType definition)
- KeyAlreadyExistsException - if the index for an element of values, calculated according to this TabularData instance's TabularType definition already maps to an existing value in this instance, or two elements of values have the same index

  Add all the values contained in the specified map t to this TabularData instance.

  Add all the values contained in the specified map t
to this TabularData instance. This method converts
the collection of values contained in this map into an array of
CompositeData values, if possible, and then call the
method putAll(CompositeData[]). Note that the keys
used in the specified map t are ignored. This method
allows, for example to add the content of another
TabularData instance with the same row type (but
possibly different index names) into this instance.
Parameters:
- t - the map whose values are to be added as new rows to this TabularData instance; if t is null or empty, this method returns without doing anything.
Throws:
- NullPointerException - if a value in t is null.
- ClassCastException - if a value in t is not an instance of CompositeData.
- InvalidOpenTypeException - if a value in t does not conform to this TabularData instance's row type definition.
- KeyAlreadyExistsException - if the index for a value in t, calculated according to this TabularData instance's TabularType definition already maps to an existing value in this instance, or two values in t have the same index.
