SetUniqueList使List集合中的元素没有重复值

List和Set的一个主要区别之一就是List可以存储重复的值，而Set不可以。但是，在某种场合下，要求List不能存重复的值怎么办呢？请看下面的例子：

List<String> list = SetUniqueList.decorate(new ArrayList<String>());
		list.add("123");
		list.add("321");
		list.add("123");
		for(String str:list){
			System.out.println(str);
		}

输出的结果是：123 321。

可以看到，SetUniqueList的decorate方法去掉了重复的值。那么这又是如何做到的呢？其实这个功能的实现依然是用到了Set。

可以先看下SetUniqueList的部分原码：

 protected final Set set;
 public static SetUniqueList decorate(List list) {
        if (list == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("List must not be null");
        }
        if (list.isEmpty()) {
            return new SetUniqueList(list, new HashSet());
        } else {
            List temp = new ArrayList(list);
            list.clear();
            SetUniqueList sl = new SetUniqueList(list, new HashSet());
            sl.addAll(temp);
            return sl;
        }
    }
 

可以看到decorate中作为参数的list是不能为空的。

其带参数的构造方法：

protected SetUniqueList(List list, Set set) {
        super(list);
        if (set == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Set must not be null");
        }
        this.set = set;
    }

主要需要看的便是addAll方法：

 public boolean addAll(Collection coll) {
        return addAll(size(), coll);
    }

 public boolean addAll(int index, Collection coll) {
        // gets initial size
        final int sizeBefore = size();

        // adds all elements
        for (final Iterator it = coll.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
            add(it.next());
        }

        // compares sizes to detect if collection changed
        return sizeBefore != size();
    }

 public boolean add(Object object) {
        // gets initial size
        final int sizeBefore = size();

        // adds element if unique
        add(size(), object);

        // compares sizes to detect if collection changed
        return (sizeBefore != size());
    }

public void add(int index, Object object) {
        // adds element if it is not contained already
        if (set.contains(object) == false) {
            super.add(index, object);
            set.add(object);
        }
    }

由最后一个add(int index,Object object)方法可以看出，对集合中所包含的元素进行了判断，进而确保集合中的元素无重复。

SetUniqueList继承了AbstractListDecorator，而AbstractListDecorator则实现了List。add(int index,Object object)中的super.add(index,object)其实就是由AbstractListDecorator实现List接口中的add(index,object)方法。

最后顺便贴出SetUniqueList的全部原码，所用的jar包为commons-collections-3.2.1.jar：
