## Class PredicatedSet<E>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.collections4.collection.AbstractCollectionDecorator<E>
  - - org.apache.commons.collections4.collection.PredicatedCollection<E>
    - - org.apache.commons.collections4.set.PredicatedSet<E>

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, Set<E>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    PredicatedSortedSet

      public class PredicatedSet<E>
      extends PredicatedCollection<E>
      implements Set<E>

  Decorates another `Set` to validate that all additions match a specified predicate.

  This set exists to provide validation for the decorated set. It is normally created to decorate an empty set. If an object cannot be added to the set, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

  One usage would be to ensure that no null entries are added to the set.

      Set set = PredicatedSet.decorate(new HashSet(), NotNullPredicate.INSTANCE);

  This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

    - #### PredicatedSet

          protected PredicatedSet(Set<E> set,
                       Predicate<? super E> predicate)

      Constructor that wraps (not copies).

      If there are any elements already in the set being decorated, they are validated.

      Parameters:
        `set` - the set to decorate, must not be null
        `predicate` - the predicate to use for validation, must not be null
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if set or predicate is null
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the set contains invalid elements

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### predicatedSet

          public static <E> PredicatedSet<E> predicatedSet(Set<E> set,
                                           Predicate<? super E> predicate)

      Factory method to create a predicated (validating) set.

      If there are any elements already in the set being decorated, they are validated.

      Type Parameters:
        `E` - the element type
      Parameters:
        `set` - the set to decorate, must not be null
        `predicate` - the predicate to use for validation, must not be null
      Returns:
        a decorated set
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if set or predicate is null
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the set contains invalid elements
      Since:
        4.0

    - #### decorated

          protected Set<E> decorated()

      Gets the set being decorated.
      Overrides:
        `decorated` in class `AbstractCollectionDecorator<E>`
      Returns:
        the decorated set
