Class TypedSortedMap

Decorates another SortedMap to validate that elements added are of a specific type.

The validation of additions is performed via an instanceof test against a specified Class. If an object cannot be added to the collection, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Note that TypedSortedMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe. If you wish to use this map from multiple threads concurrently, you must use appropriate synchronization. The simplest approach is to wrap this map using java.util.Collections.synchronizedSortedMap. This class may throw exceptions when accessed by concurrent threads without synchronization.

The returned implementation is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.
