Returns the NotificationEntry with the specified id, or null if not present.

combine

public NotificationResponse combine(NotificationResponse response)

Combine the contents of this response with the provided response and return a new instance of NotificationResponse. The original instances are unchanged.

Parameters:

response - A new NotificationResponse that contains data from both originals

filterErrors

public NotificationResponse filterErrors(java.util.Set<java.lang.Integer> hiddenErrorKeys)

Return a new instance of NotificationResponse from which the specified errors have been removed. The original instances are unchanged.

Parameters:

hiddenErrorKeys - set of error keys to exclude from result

size

public int size()

Provides the total number of notifications contained in the response.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

clone

protected java.lang.Object clone()
                          throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Implements deep-copy clone.

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - Not really, but it's on the method signature we're overriding.

cloneIfNotCloned

public NotificationResponse cloneIfNotCloned()

Best guess as to the reason this method exists: beans that produce fresh NotificationResponse objects (without cloning them) may safely cache them. They need not fear that another bean will transform their copy. Beans that do clone them, however, can safely operate on a clone.
