["Anirudh Vyas (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Anirudh Vyas commented on COLLECTIONS-88:
-----------------------------------------

I don't buy that argument, I can submit the patch if thats what it takes, I still feel this is a valid issue, and the method should be called filter( ) on MapUtils, that solution being described is ugly. My 2 cents.

> Hello,
> I stumbled into the following problem:
> A client submits an http request with prefixed parameters. Each prefix will 
> have it's own javabean to populate. So if there are two prefixes, then there 
> will be two different javabeans to populate from the request parameters.
> I created a PrefixPredicate that only allows values with a specific prefix. I 
> then used this PrefixPredicate to copy the Map with the request parameters to 
> a predicated Map with:
> Map predicatedMap = MapUtils.predicatedMap(dataMap,keyPredicate,null);
> However, since the request parameters contain parameters with other prefixes 
> as well, this returns an IllegalArgumentException.
> It would be nice to be able to specify to the MapUtils.predicatedMap method to 
> ignore entries that do not comply to the predicate instead of to throw an 
> exception.
> There are lots of possabilities to filter on a Collection, but a Map is not a 
> collection...
