E - the type of elements held in this collectionpublic class CopyOnWriteArraySet<E>
A Set that uses an internal CopyOnWriteArrayList
for all of its operations. Thus, it shares the same basic properties:
Sample Usage. The following code sketch uses a copy-on-write set to maintain a set of Handler objects that perform some action upon state updates.
class Handler { void handle(); ... }
class X {
private final CopyOnWriteArraySet<Handler> handlers
= new CopyOnWriteArraySet<Handler>();
public void addHandler(Handler h) { handlers.add(h); }
private long internalState;
private synchronized void changeState() { internalState = ...; }
public void update() {
changeState();
for (Handler handler : handlers)
handler.handle();
}
}
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

public Object[] toArray()
The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this set. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array even if this set is backed by an array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.
This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.
toArray in interface Collection<E>toArray in interface Set<E>toArray in class AbstractCollection<E>public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a)
If this set fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this set), the element in the array immediately following the end of the set is set to null. (This is useful in determining the length of this set only if the caller knows that this set does not contain any null elements.)
If this set makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order.
Like the toArray() method, this method acts as bridge between
array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows
precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may,
under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.
Suppose x is a set known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the set into a newly allocated array of String:
String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);
Note that toArray(new Object[0]) is identical in function to
toArray().
toArray in interface Collection<E>toArray in interface Set<E>toArray in class AbstractCollection<E>a - the array into which the elements of this set are to be
stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same
runtime type is allocated for this purpose.

The returned iterator provides a snapshot of the state of the set when the iterator was constructed. No synchronization is needed while traversing the iterator. The iterator does NOT support the remove method.
iterator in interface Iterable<E>iterator in interface Collection<E>iterator in interface Set<E>iterator in class AbstractCollection<E>public boolean equals(Object o)
true if the specified object is the same object
as this object, or if it is also a Set and the elements
returned by an iterator over the
specified set are the same as the elements returned by an
iterator over this set. More formally, the two iterators are
considered to return the same elements if they return the same
number of elements and for every element e1 returned by
the iterator over the specified set, there is an element
e2 returned by the iterator over this set such that
(e1==null ? e2==null : e1.equals(e2)).
