In my unit and load tests, I often find myself retrieving a collection of objects from a service, and selecting a random one from the collection. Seems like a common use case (for testing anyhow) and I don't think there's any support in java.util Collections for, say, fetching a random item out of a Set. It's easy enough to code by hand, but I was wondering if it's already done somewhere in commons-collections. A Random iterator would be really cool.
I suppose: List theList = new ArrayList( someCollection ); Collections.shuffle( theList ); Iterator theIt = theList.iterator(); works fine too.. thnx... hernan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
