## com.sleepycat.collections
Class StoredSortedEntrySet<K,V>

    java.lang.Object
      com.sleepycat.collections.StoredContainer
          com.sleepycat.collections.StoredCollection<Map.Entry<K,V>>
              com.sleepycat.collections.StoredEntrySet<K,V>
                  com.sleepycat.collections.StoredSortedEntrySet<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Cloneable, Iterable<Map.Entry<K,V>>, Collection<Map.Entry<K,V>>, Set<Map.Entry<K,V>>, SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>>

    public class StoredSortedEntrySet<K,V>

extends StoredEntrySet<K,V>
implements SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>>

The SortedSet returned by Map.entrySet(). This class may not be instantiated directly. Contrary to what is stated by `Map.entrySet()` this class does support the `StoredEntrySet.add(java.util.Map.Entry<K, V>)` and `StoredCollection.addAll(java.util.Collection<? extends E>)` methods.

The `Map.Entry.setValue(V)` method of the Map.Entry objects that are returned by this class and its iterators behaves just as the `StoredIterator.set(E)` method does.

In addition to the standard SortedSet methods, this class provides the following methods for stored sorted sets only. Note that the use of these methods is not compatible with the standard Java collections interface.

- `headSet(Map.Entry, boolean)`
- `tailSet(Map.Entry, boolean)`
- `subSet(Map.Entry, boolean, Map.Entry, boolean)`

Method Detail

### comparator

    public Comparator<? super Map.Entry<K,V>> comparator()

  Returns null since comparators are not supported. The natural ordering of a stored collection is data byte order, whether the data classes implement the `Comparable` interface or not. This method does not conform to the `SortedSet.comparator()` interface.

  Specified by:
    `comparator` in interface `SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>>`
  Returns:
    null.

### first

    public Map.Entry<K,V> first()

  Returns the first (lowest) element currently in this sorted set. This method conforms to the `SortedSet.first()` interface.

  Specified by:
    `first` in interface `SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>>`
  Returns:
    the first element.
  Throws:
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a checked exception is thrown, including a `DatabaseException` on BDB (C edition).

### last

    public Map.Entry<K,V> last()

  Returns the last (highest) element currently in this sorted set. This method conforms to the `SortedSet.last()` interface.

  Specified by:
    `last` in interface `SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>>`
  Returns:
    the last element.
  Throws:
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a checked exception is thrown, including a `DatabaseException` on BDB (C edition).

### headSet

    public SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>> headSet(Map.Entry<K,V> toMapEntry)

  Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toMapEntry. This method conforms to the `SortedSet.headSet(E)` interface.

  Note that the return value is a StoredCollection and must be treated as such; for example, its iterators must be explicitly closed.

  Specified by:
    `headSet` in interface `SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>>`
  Parameters:
    `toMapEntry` - the upper bound.
  Returns:
    the subset.
  Throws:
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a checked exception is thrown, including a `DatabaseException` on BDB (C edition).

### headSet

    public SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>> headSet(Map.Entry<K,V> toMapEntry,
                                             boolean toInclusive)

  Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toMapEntry, optionally including toMapEntry. This method does not exist in the standard `SortedSet` interface.

  Note that the return value is a StoredCollection and must be treated as such; for example, its iterators must be explicitly closed.

  Parameters:
    `toMapEntry` - is the upper bound.
    `toInclusive` - is true to include toMapEntry.
  Returns:
    the subset.
  Throws:
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a checked exception is thrown, including a `DatabaseException` on BDB (C edition).

### tailSet

    public SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>> tailSet(Map.Entry<K,V> fromMapEntry)

  Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are greater than or equal to fromMapEntry. This method conforms to the `SortedSet.tailSet(E)` interface.

  Note that the return value is a StoredCollection and must be treated as such; for example, its iterators must be explicitly closed.

  Specified by:
    `tailSet` in interface `SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>>`
  Parameters:
    `fromMapEntry` - is the lower bound.
  Returns:
    the subset.
  Throws:

  Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly greater than fromMapEntry, optionally including fromMapEntry. This method does not exist in the standard `SortedSet` interface.

  Note that the return value is a StoredCollection and must be treated as such; for example, its iterators must be explicitly closed.

  Parameters:

  Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements range from fromMapEntry, inclusive, to toMapEntry, exclusive. This method conforms to the `SortedSet.subSet(E, E)` interface.

  Note that the return value is a StoredCollection and must be treated as such; for example, its iterators must be explicitly closed.

  Specified by:
    `subSet` in interface `SortedSet<Map.Entry<K,V>>`
  Parameters:
    `fromMapEntry` - is the lower bound.
