      public class StoredSortedValueSet<E>
      extends StoredValueSet<E>
      implements java.util.SortedSet<E>

  The SortedSet returned by Map.values() and which can also be constructed directly if a Map is not needed. Although this collection is a set it may contain duplicate values. Only if an entity value binding is used are all elements guaranteed to be unique.

  In addition to the standard SortedSet methods, this class provides the following methods for stored sorted value sets only. Note that the use of these methods is not compatible with the standard Java collections interface.

  - `headSet(Object, boolean)`
  - `tailSet(Object, boolean)`
  - `subSet(Object, boolean, Object, boolean)`

    - #### StoredSortedValueSet

          public StoredSortedValueSet(Database database,
                                      EntityBinding<E> valueEntityBinding,
                                      boolean writeAllowed)

      Creates a sorted value set entity view of a `Database`.
      Parameters:
        `database` - is the Database underlying the new collection.
        `valueEntityBinding` - is the binding used to translate between key/value buffers and entity value objects.
        `writeAllowed` - is true to create a read-write collection or false to create a read-only collection.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if formats are not consistently defined or a parameter is invalid.
        `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a checked exception is thrown, including a `DatabaseException` on BDB (C edition).

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### comparator

          public java.util.Comparator<? super E> comparator()

      Returns null since comparators are not supported. The natural ordering of a stored collection is data byte order, whether the data classes implement the `Comparable` interface or not. This method does not conform to the `SortedSet.comparator()` interface.
      Specified by:
        `comparator` in interface `java.util.SortedSet<E>`
      Returns:
        null.

    - #### first

          public E first()

      Returns the first (lowest) element currently in this sorted set. This method conforms to the `SortedSet.first()` interface.
      Specified by:
        `first` in interface `java.util.SortedSet<E>`
      Returns:
        the first element.
      Throws:
        `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a checked exception is thrown, including a `DatabaseException` on BDB (C edition).

    - #### last

          public E last()

      Returns the last (highest) element currently in this sorted set. This method conforms to the `SortedSet.last()` interface.
      Specified by:
        `last` in interface `java.util.SortedSet<E>`
      Returns:
        the last element.
      Throws:
        `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a checked exception is thrown, including a `DatabaseException` on BDB (C edition).

    - #### headSet

          public java.util.SortedSet<E> headSet(E toValue)

      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toValue. This method conforms to the `SortedSet.headSet(E)` interface.

      Note that the return value is a StoredCollection and must be treated as such; for example, its iterators must be explicitly closed.

      Specified by:
        `headSet` in interface `java.util.SortedSet<E>`
      Parameters:
        `toValue` - the upper bound.
      Returns:
        the subset.
      Throws:
        `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a checked exception is thrown, including a `DatabaseException` on BDB (C edition).

    - #### headSet

          public java.util.SortedSet<E> headSet(E toValue,
                                                boolean toInclusive)

      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are strictly less than toValue, optionally including toValue. This method does not exist in the standard `SortedSet` interface.

      Throws:
        `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a checked exception is thrown, including a `DatabaseException` on BDB (C edition).

    - #### tailSet

          public java.util.SortedSet<E> tailSet(E fromValue)

      Returns a view of the portion of this sorted set whose elements are greater than or equal to fromValue. This method conforms to the `SortedSet.tailSet(E)` interface.

      Note that the return value is a StoredCollection and must be treated as such; for example, its iterators must be explicitly closed.
