Class FilterCollection

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--gausssoft.collections.FilterCollection
All Implemented Interfaces:
Collection, Serializable

public class FilterCollection
extends Object
implements Collection, Serializable

The FilterCollection class contains another Collection, which it uses as it's basic source of data, possibly transforming the data along the way or providing additional functionality.

Each method in this implementation calls the method with the same signature in the backing collection.

This class can only be serialized if the backing collection is serializable.
