Returns a dynamically typesafe view of the specified sorted map.
Any attempt to insert a mapping whose key or value have the wrong
type will result in an immediate ClassCastException
.
Similarly, any attempt to modify the value currently associated with
a key will result in an immediate ClassCastException
,
whether the modification is attempted directly through the map
itself, or through a Map.Entry
instance obtained from the
map's entry set
view.
Assuming a map contains no incorrectly typed keys or values prior to the time a dynamically typesafe view is generated, and that all subsequent access to the map takes place through the view (or one of its collection views), it is guaranteed that the map cannot contain an incorrectly typed key or value.
A discussion of the use of dynamically typesafe views may be
found in the documentation for the checkedCollection
method.
The returned map will be serializable if the specified map is serializable.
Since null
is considered to be a value of any reference
type, the returned map permits insertion of null keys or values
whenever the backing map does.
<K> | the class of the map keys | |
<V> | the class of the map values | |
m | the map for which a dynamically typesafe view is to be returned | |
keyType | the type of key that m is permitted to hold | |
valueType | the type of value that m is permitted to hold |
