Class SetOnce<T>

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.lucene.util.SetOnce<T>

public final class SetOnce<T>
extends Object

A convenient class which offers a semi-immutable object wrapper implementation which allows one to set the value of an object exactly once, and retrieve it many times. If set(Object) is called more than once, SetOnce.AlreadySetException is thrown and the operation will fail.

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.
