> I frequently use CollectionUtils.forAllDo with a Closure that determines some
> kind of aggregate value across the members of the Collection. For example, and
> this is entirely manufactured, say I have an Order with a collection of
> LineItems. Order might use a SumClosure to count the number of actual items 
> (not
> LineItem objects) on the Order or to compute the sum of the LineItems cost. It
> would be convenient in these cases if I could use the return of forAllDo to
> chain method calls like this:
>     public BigDecimal getTotal() {
>         return CollectionUtils.forAllDo(lineItems, new 
> SumTotalClosure()).total();
>     }
> As it is, I have to make do with the somewhat less compact:
>     public BigDecimal getTotal() {
>         SumTotalClosure closure = new SumTotalClosure();
>         CollectionUtils.forAllDo(lineItems, closure);
>         return closure.total();
>     }
> Thanks for considering it.
