I found all of the previous entrys will be set to current one while
iter.next() was invoked. so I guess there is just the same instance returned
by iter.next() with variable modifications.
It is a bug if not a trade-off for performance I think.

Hi All:
When I develop EnumMap,I find EnumMap strange on RI. As the following
code describes, the method entrySet() of
EnumMap returns a set view of mappings contained in this map. Then we
get the set's iterator and use the iterator's next() method to get an
Entry which contains one mapping. But if we use next() method again to
get another Entry, the previous Entry will also point to the next Entry.
import java.util.EnumMap;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
public class EnumMapTest extends TestCase{
enum Size {
Small, Middle, Big {
};
}
public void test_entrySet() {
EnumMap enumSizeMap = new EnumMap(Size.class);
enumSizeMap.put(Size.Middle, 1);
enumSizeMap.put(Size.Big, null);
Set set = enumSizeMap.entrySet();
Iterator iter = set.iterator();
Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry) iter.next();
assertEquals(Size.Middle, entry.getKey());
Map.Entry entry1 = (Map.Entry) iter.next();
assertEquals(Size.Big, entry.getKey());
assertSame(entry,entry1);
}
}
I guess on RI, the returned iterator maintains a reference to current
entry and returns this reference in iter.next() method.
I do not think RI's behavior makes sense here. So I suggest not to
follow RI on the behavior.
Best regards
