Sorry, my patch went missing. Too big? Anyway here it is gzipped.

Subject: RE: [collections] New Collection
That's what I meant, cheers.
I found another collection that seems to be a better starting point, org.apache.commons.collections.DoubleOrderedMap. So far I have made a couple of changes to this class:
1. Changed it to use Comparator's if specified rather than natural ordering.
2. Transaction support.
I have attached an initial patch. This is NOT for committing as I haven't finished yet.
I have a few questions:
1. Once I've finished, will the patch be applied (based on what I've already done)?
2. Roughly when is the next release of Commons-Collections?
3. There are no decorators specifically for DoubleOrderedMap. Should I write some?
Cheers,
Dave.

Right....
That seems to be a good interpretation of the original intent. Should have read the original a little better the first time.

The only problem with SequencedHashMap is that its ordering is based upon the insertion order, not the values of the objects added to it or some Comparator, such as is needed (at least that's how I interpret "ordering by value" from the original requirements).

You might want to take a look at org.apache.commons.collections.SequencedHashMap which combines, for the most part, the functions of list and map (insertElementAt()) is not available - how does one insert a key, when the value should be at a specific position?
The transactional support is definitely not there, but this might give you a better starting point for what you desire.

Subject: [collections] New Collection
Our application has just changed from requiring JDK 1.1 to JDK 1.3 as a minimum. As a result we are looking at switching our implementation of using Hashtable and Vector to using collections.
I am going to write a new collection that gives the functionality we require and once I've finished I want to donate it to commons-collections. I would like some comments on where to start (especially as I don't yet know too much about the standard collections API's). The functionality I require is
this: 1. Keys and values. ala Hashtable. 2. Ordering by value. ala Vector. 3. Indexing by value. ala Vector's indexOf, elementAt and insertElementAt. 4. Transactions. i.e. Others won't see changes until commit is called.
I take it there is no implementation that supplies the above. I was initially thinking of either encapsulating or overriding TreeMap, but I think that would make the indexing part pretty difficult. But now I think I will just encapsulate or override HashMap.
Any comments would be gratefully received.
Cheers.
Dave.
