public abstract class AbstractReference2ReferenceFunction<K,V> extends Object implements Reference2ReferenceFunction<K,V>, Serializable
This class handles directly a default return
value (including methods to access
it). Instances of classes inheriting from this class have just to return
defRetValue to denote lack of a key in type-specific methods. The value
is serialized.
Implementing subclasses have just to provide type-specific get(),
type-specific containsKey(), and size() methods.
