Description
Name: rmT116609 Date: 10/23/2003 A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM : The method TreeSet.remove(Object o) throws a ClassCastException if the objects collected in the TreeSet and the Object o doesn't implement Comparable or specify a Comparator. The documentation says: "Throws: ClassCastException - if the specified object cannot be compared with the elements currently in the set." It would be nice, if you could be more specific here and tell the user, that he has to implement Comparable or specify a Comparator. There are lot's of questions about this in your community forums. EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR : EXPECTED - Throws: ClassCastException - if the specified object cannot be compared with the elements currently in the set. To achieve this implement Comparable or create the TreeSet with a Comparator. ACTUAL - Throws: ClassCastException - if the specified object cannot be compared with the elements currently in the set.
