Class ProxyMap

java.lang.Object

  +--org.apache.commons.collections.ProxyMap

public abstract class ProxyMap
extends Object
implements Map

This Map wraps another Map implementation, using the wrapped instance for its default implementation. This class is used as a framework on which to build to extensions for its wrapped Map object which would be unavailable or inconvenient via sub-classing (but usable via composition).

An example use case is where the wrapped Map needs synchronization (to make it thread-safe), but the Map returned by Collections.synchronizedMap(map) hides part of map's public interface.
