Method Summary

void	afterValue(ID id, V indexValue) An alternative to calling after(IndexEntry) which often may require wrapping an id and value in a newly created IndexEntry object that may be an unnecessary object creation.
void	beforeValue(ID id, V indexValue) An alternative to calling before(IndexEntry) which often may require wrapping an id and value in a newly created IndexEntry object that may be an unnecessary object creation.

Method Detail

beforeValue

void beforeValue(ID id,
                 V indexValue)
                 throws Exception

An alternative to calling before(IndexEntry) which often may require wrapping an id and value in a newly created IndexEntry object that may be an unnecessary object creation. Some implementations may not support this operation and may throw an UnsupportedOperationEception.

Parameters:

id - the id for the entry

indexValue - the value to advance just before

Throws:

Exception - if there are faults performing this operation

afterValue

void afterValue(ID id,
                V indexValue)
                throws Exception

An alternative to calling after(IndexEntry) which often may require wrapping an id and value in a newly created IndexEntry object that may be an unnecessary object creation. Some implementations may not support this operation and may throw an UnsupportedOperationEception.

Parameters:

id - the id for the entry

indexValue - the value to advance just after the last value

Throws:

Exception - if there are faults performing this operation
