关于collections.unmodifiablemap 的一点理解

这是collections.unmodifiablemap的API文档

* Returns an unmodifiable view of the specified map.  This method
* allows modules to provide users with "read-only" access to internal
* maps.  Query operations on the returned map "read through"
* to the specified map, and attempts to modify the returned
* map, whether direct or via its collection views, result in an
* <tt>UnsupportedOperationException</tt>.<p>

简单来说就是返回一份map的只读视图，任何企图修改map的操作都会直接返回UnsupportedOperationException。

其实这个不可修改的Map指的是Map本身不可修改，里面的对象若支持修改的话，其实也还是可以修改的。

 unmodifiableMap是Map接口的一个实现类，里面包装了一个map对于可能修改map的方法


通过下面的两段代码说明一下（代码和collections.unmodifiablemap 关系不大，只是增加一点理解）

/**

public class SafePoint {
private int x,y;

private SafePoint(int [] a){ this(a[0],a[1]); }

public SafePoint(SafePoint p){ this(p.get()); }
public SafePoint(int x, int y){
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}

public synchronized int[] get(){
return new int[]{x,y};
}

public synchronized void set( int x, int y){
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
}

import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap;

/**

public class PublishingVehicleTracker {
private final Map<String,SafePoint> location;
private final Map<String,SafePoint> unmodifiableMap;

public PublishingVehicleTracker(Map<String,SafePoint> location){
this.location = new ConcurrentHashMap<>(location);
this.unmodifiableMap = Collections.unmodifiableMap(this.location);
}

public Map<String,SafePoint>getLocations(){
return unmodifiableMap;
}

public SafePoint getLocation(String id){
return location.get(id);
}

public void  setLocation(String id, int x, int y){
if (!location.containsKey(id)){
throw  new IllegalArgumentException("invalid vehicle name: "+id);
}
location.get(id).set(x,y);
}
}

上例中location 和 unmodifiableMap都指向相同的数据，unmodifiableMap不支持修改。但在本例中可以通过unmodifiableMap.get(id).set(x,y)修改map中的元素；可以将SafePoint的x, y设置为final来防止修改。
