A <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Set.html" title="class or interface in java.util"><CODE>Set</CODE></A> that uses an internal <A HREF="../../../../../../org/apache/openjpa/lib/util/concurrent/CopyOnWriteArrayList.html" title="class in org.apache.openjpa.lib.util.concurrent"><CODE>CopyOnWriteArrayList</CODE></A>
for all of its operations. Thus, it shares the same basic properties:
<ul>
<li>It is best suited for applications in which set sizes generally
stay small, read-only operations
vastly outnumber mutative operations, and you need
to prevent interference among threads during traversal.
<li>It is thread-safe.
<li>Mutative operations(<tt>add</tt>, <tt>set</tt>, <tt>remove</tt>, etc.)
are expensive since they usually entail copying the entire underlying array.
<li>Iterators do not support the mutative <tt>remove</tt> operation.
<li>Traversal via iterators is fast and cannot encounter
interference from other threads. Iterators rely on
unchanging snapshots of the array at the time the iterators were constructed.
</ul>
<b>Sample Usage.</b> The following code sketch uses a
copy-on-write set to maintain a set of Handler objects that
perform some action upon state updates.
<pre> class Handler { void handle(); ... }
class X { private final CopyOnWriteArraySet&lt;Handler&gt; handlers
= new CopyOnWriteArraySet&lt;Handler&gt;();
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(); } }
</pre> This class is a member of the

<DD>Returns an array containing all of the elements in this set.

The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it

The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.

<DL>
<DD>Returns an array containing all of the elements in this set; the
runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array.
If the set fits in the specified array, it is returned therein.
Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the
specified array and the size of this set.
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
<tt>null</tt>. (This is useful in determining the length of this
set <i>only</i> 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 <A HREF="../../../../../../org/apache/openjpa/lib/util/concurrent/CopyOnWriteArraySet.html#toArray()"><CODE>toArray()</CODE></A> 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 <tt>x</tt> is a set known to contain only strings.
The following code can be used to dump the set into a newly allocated
array of <tt>String</tt>:
<pre> String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);</pre>
Note that <tt>toArray(new Object[0])</tt> is identical in function to
<tt>toArray()</tt>.

<DD>Returns an iterator over the elements contained in this set
in the order in which these elements were added.
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 <em>NOT</em> support the
