DTMStringPool is an "interning" mechanism for strings. It will * create a stable 1:1 mapping between a set of string values and a set of * integer index values, so the integers can be used to reliably and * uniquely identify (and when necessary retrieve) the strings.

* *

Design Priorities: *

*

* *

Implementation detail: A standard Hashtable is relatively * inefficient when looking up primitive int values, especially when * we're already maintaining an int-to-string vector. So I'm * maintaining a simple hash chain within this class.

* *

NOTE: There is nothing in the code that has a real dependency upon * String. It would work with any object type that implements reliable * .hashCode() and .equals() operations. The API enforces Strings because * it's safer that way, but this could trivially be turned into a general * ObjectPool if one was needed.

* *

Status: Passed basic test in main().
