/**
|
||
|
|
* A constraint on the keys and values that may be added to a {@code Map} or
|
||
|
|
* {@code Multimap}. For example, {@link MapConstraints#notNull()}, which
|
||
|
|
* prevents a map from including any null keys or values, could be implemented
|
||
|
|
* like this:
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* <pre>
|
||
|
|
* {@code
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* public void checkKeyValue(Object key, Object value) {
|
||
|
|
* if (key == null || value == null) {
|
||
|
|
* throw new NullPointerException();
|
||
|
|
* }
|
||
|
|
* }}
|
||
|
|
* </pre>
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* <p>
|
||
|
|
* In order to be effective, constraints should be deterministic; that is, they
|
||
|
|
* should not depend on state that can change (such as external state, random
|
||
|
|
* variables, and time) and should only depend on the value of the passed-in key
|
||
|
|
* and value. A non-deterministic constraint cannot reliably enforce that all
|
||
|
|
* the collection's elements meet the constraint, since the constraint is only
|
||
|
|
* enforced when elements are added.
