Method Detail

optPut

public java.util.List<java.lang.String> optPut(java.lang.String key,
                                               java.lang.String value)

Convenience method. Only add the value to the values already belonging to this key in case value is not NULL. This saves client-checks on null values. // TODO not sure we really want this.

Parameters:

key - the key of which the values need to be updated

value - the value to be added when not NULL

Returns:

the new list of values mapped to the specified key

put

public java.util.List<java.lang.String> put(java.lang.String key,
                                            java.lang.String value)

Add the provided value to the list of values associated with this key

Parameters:

key - the key

value - the new (additional) value belonging to this key.

Returns:

the list associated with this key

putMap

public void putMap(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> map)

Copies all of the mappings from the specified map into this map.

Parameters:

map - mappings to be stored in this map
