Description

Interface Summary

ExceptionHandler	Whenever a component doesn't want to throw every exception and declare them in their methods it is useful to give the exceptions to an exception handler.
ObjectFilter	A filter for any kind of object.
TriggerClient	An object that wants to work with a trigger (see Trigger) is a TriggerClient and must therefore implement this interface.

Class Summary

AAssociationProcessor	Specialized abstract processor for Association objects.
Association	Simple association of a key object and a value object.
AssociationList	A container that holds a collection of Association objects.
Base64Converter	A converter that allows to encode strings, byte arrays and char arrays to BASE64 and vice versa.
BitSet	Represents a set of 8 bits and provides methods for convenient bit manipulation.
Block1	This is ablock closure for one argument blocks.
Bool	Utility class for missing convenience with Boolean and boolean.
CaseInsensitiveKeyMap	This class provides a map that treats all keys as case-insensitive strings.
CollectionUtil	This class implements the singleton pattern.
CollectorDictionary	This class implements the java.util.Map interface.
Countdown	Supports loops with a countdown of a defined time.
DateUtil	This class is intended to provide convenience methods around the java.util.Date class.
EnumerationIterator	Provides the Iterator interface on a given Enumeration.
ExceptionIgnorer	An abstract superclass that provides an instance variable to hold an optional ExceptionHandler.
MapEntry	This is a simple implementation of the java.util.Map.Entry interface.
MapWrapper	This is a wrapper class that implements the java.util.Map interface and contains an internal map.
NamedText	An association of a name string and a text value.
NamedTextList	A container that holds a collection of NamedText objects.
NamedValue	This specialized Association allows only strings as key.
NamedValueList	A container that holds a collection of NamedValue objects.
ObjectArrayIterator	Provides iteration over object arrays (i.e.
ObjectCollectionFilter	This filter returns tru if a given object is contained in the underlying collection of objects.
OrderedCollection	A collection that supports similar methods to the list interface but it starts with index 1 and ends with element index size() !
OrderedMap	A Map implementation that pertains the order of its elements according to when they have been added.
OrderedProperties	Represents a properties collection with empty lines and comments.
OrderedSet	Implements a Set that keeps the order of its elements according to when they were added.
StackedMap	Provides a map that allows to push() and pop() internal settings to/from a (LIFO) stack.
StopWatch	A simple stop watch to measure the time between a start and a stop point.
SysUtil	Provides generally useful methods for system inquiries and other system related functionality.
TemporaryMap	This implementation of a Map behaves like a Hashtable except that it associates a timestamp with each entry.
Trigger	A trigger is an object that runs in a separate thread and waits for a specified time until it calls a specific method of a trigger client (see TriggerClient).
