[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-663?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel=16968061#comment-16968061 ] Chen commented on COLLECTIONS-663: -- Hello. [~chris333] Thank you for response. I think the representation of Multimap is \{1: A, 1: B, 2: C}. So when A and B are deleted, only \{2: C} is left. And asMap() method is return a map in the form of \{1:[A, B], 2:[C]}. In this map, \{1:[], 2:[C]} is left when a and B are deleted. If you agree with what I say above, the cause of the problem is not AbstractMultiMap ValueIterator.remove(); The reasons are as follows: {code:java} // AbstractMultiValuedMap AsMap entrySet() AsMapEntrySet AsMapEntrySetIterator next() class AsMapEntrySetIterator extends AbstractIteratorDecorator>> { AsMapEntrySetIterator(final Iterator>> iterator) { super(iterator); } @Override public Map.Entry> next() { final Map.Entry> entry = super.next(); final K key = entry.getKey(); final Collection value = entry.getValue(); return new UnmodifiableMapEntry<>(key, value); //return new UnmodifiableMapEntry<>(key, wrappedCollection(key)); } } {code} I think wrappedCollection(key) should not be used。if it use wrappedCollection(key), it willl be shown as \{1: A, 1: B, 2: C}. the asMap() method does not make sense.

I worked around my problem since then. Maybe you want to add in the documentation of {{MultiValuedMap.mapIterator()}} (or better in it's implementation {{AbstractMultiValuedMap.mapIterator()}}) that it doesn't support {{setValue(Object)}}, as it's documented for asMap(). But I think the initial issue needs documentation even more: {code:java} @Test public void test() { MultiValuedMap multiMap = new HashSetValuedHashMap<>(); multiMap.put(1, 10); multiMap.put(2, 20); for (Collection innerCollection : multiMap.asMap().values()) { for (Iterator iterator = innerCollection.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) { Integer i = iterator.next(); iterator.remove(); // only the innerCollection is altered } // innerCollection.add(6); // adding stuff back should also work... } }{code} This test unexpectedly throws a ConcurrentModificationException, which is a lot harder to understand than the UnsupportedOperationException of the other test. The {{ConcurrentModificationException}} needs debugging to understand that it isn't the user who removed concurrently, but the apache-commons library itself. That {{AbstractMultiValuedMap.ValuesIterator.remove()}} is calling {{AbstractMultiValuedMap.this.remove(key);}} is incorrect if the user was using an iterator over the multimap: {code:java} // AbstractMultiValuedMap.ValuesIterator.remove(): @Override public void remove() { iterator.remove(); if (values.isEmpty()) { // this is buggy if the user was iterating over the AbstractMultiValuedMap AbstractMultiValuedMap.this.remove(key); } } {code} Maybe MultiValuedMap.asMap() needs some documentation that it doesn't support {{remove()}} in case of nested usage of {{iterator()}}. Or find a way to call enclosingIterator.remove(): {code:java} // AbstractMultiValuedMap.ValuesIterator.remove(): @Override public void remove() { iterator.remove(); if (values.isEmpty()) { if (hasEnclosingIterator()) { enclosingIterator.remove(); // nested iteration } else { AbstractMultiValuedMap.this.remove(key); // non nested usage } } } {code} hasEnclosingIterator() and enclosingIterator have to be implemented, somehow :D > Unexpected ConcurrentModificationException when altering Collection of a > MultiValuedMap > --- > > Key: COLLECTIONS-663 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-663 > Project: Commons Collections > Issue Type: Bug >Reporter: Christophe Schmaltz >Assignee: Bruno P.

(My current workaround is storing the elements I need to change in a list, and pushing them back in the map afterwards) I understand the difficulty in implementing it for {{HashSetValuedHashMap}} though, as the {{HashSet.iterator}} doesn't support it either (sadly, that's what I need).
