All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Iterable, java.util.Collection, Buffer

    public class TransformedBuffer

extends TransformedCollection
implements Buffer

Decorates another `Buffer` to transform objects that are added.

The add methods are affected by this class. Thus objects must be removed or searched for using their transformed form. For example, if the transformation converts Strings to Integers, you must use the Integer form to remove objects.

This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

  Commons Collections 3.0

Constructor Detail

### TransformedBuffer

    protected TransformedBuffer(Buffer buffer,
                                Transformer transformer)

  Constructor that wraps (not copies).

  If there are any elements already in the buffer being decorated, they are NOT transformed.

  Parameters:
    `buffer` - the buffer to decorate, must not be null
    `transformer` - the transformer to use for conversion, must not be null
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if buffer or transformer is null

Method Detail

### decorate

    public static Buffer decorate(Buffer buffer,
                                  Transformer transformer)

  Factory method to create a transforming buffer.

  If there are any elements already in the buffer being decorated, they are NOT transformed.

  Parameters:
    `buffer` - the buffer to decorate, must not be null
    `transformer` - the transformer to use for conversion, must not be null
  Returns:
    a new transformed Buffer
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if buffer or transformer is null

### getBuffer

    protected Buffer getBuffer()

  Gets the decorated buffer.

  Returns:
    the decorated buffer

### get

    public java.lang.Object get()

  Description copied from interface: `Buffer`
  Gets the next object from the buffer without removing it.

  Specified by:
    `get` in interface `Buffer`
  Returns:
    the next object in the buffer, which is not removed

### remove

    public java.lang.Object remove()

  Description copied from interface: `Buffer`
  Gets and removes the next object from the buffer.

  Specified by:
    `remove` in interface `Buffer`
  Returns:
    the next object in the buffer, which is also removed
