  - ### putAll

    public void putAll(Map<?,?> t)
    Add all the values contained in the specified map t to this `TabularData` instance. This method converts the collection of values contained in this map into an array of `CompositeData` values, if possible, and then call the method `putAll(CompositeData[])`. Note that the keys used in the specified map t are ignored. This method allows, for example to add the content of another `TabularData` instance with the same row type (but possibly different index names) into this instance.
    Specified by:
      `putAll` in interface `Map<Object,Object>`
    Parameters:
      `t` - the map whose values are to be added as new rows to this `TabularData` instance; if t is `null` or empty, this method returns without doing anything.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if a value in t is `null`.
      `ClassCastException` - if a value in t is not an instance of `CompositeData`.
      `InvalidOpenTypeException` - if a value in t does not conform to this `TabularData` instance's row type definition.
      `KeyAlreadyExistsException` - if the index for a value in t, calculated according to this `TabularData` instance's `TabularType` definition already maps to an existing value in this instance, or two values in t have the same index.

  - ### putAll

    public void putAll(CompositeData[] values)
    Add all the elements in values to this `TabularData` instance. If any element in values does not satisfy the constraints defined in `put`, or if any two elements in values have the same index calculated according to this `TabularData` instance's `TabularType` definition, then an exception describing the failure is thrown and no element of values is added, thus leaving this `TabularData` instance unchanged.
    Specified by:
      `putAll` in interface `TabularData`
    Parameters:
      `values` - the array of composite data values to be added as new rows to this `TabularData` instance; if values is `null` or empty, this method returns without doing anything.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if an element of values is `null`
      `InvalidOpenTypeException` - if an element of values does not conform to this `TabularData` instance's row type definition (ie its `TabularType` definition)
      `KeyAlreadyExistsException` - if the index for an element of values, calculated according to this `TabularData` instance's `TabularType` definition already maps to an existing value in this instance, or two elements of values have the same index

  - ### clear

    public void clear()
    Removes all rows from this `TabularDataSupport` instance.
    Specified by:
      `clear` in interface `Map<Object,Object>`
    Specified by:
      `clear` in interface `TabularData`

  - ### size

    public int size()
    Returns the number of rows in this `TabularDataSupport` instance.
    Specified by:
      `size` in interface `Map<Object,Object>`
    Specified by:
      `size` in interface `TabularData`
    Returns:
      the number of rows in this `TabularDataSupport` instance.

  - ### isEmpty

    public boolean isEmpty()
    Returns `true` if this `TabularDataSupport` instance contains no rows.
    Specified by:
      `isEmpty` in interface `Map<Object,Object>`
    Specified by:
      `isEmpty` in interface `TabularData`
    Returns:
      `true` if this `TabularDataSupport` instance contains no rows.

  - ### keySet

    public Set<Object> keySet()
    Returns a set view of the keys contained in the underlying map of this `TabularDataSupport` instance used to index the rows. Each key contained in this `Set` is an unmodifiable `List<?>` so the returned set view is a `Set<List<?>>` but is declared as a `Set<Object>` for compatibility reasons. The set is backed by the underlying map of this `TabularDataSupport` instance, so changes to the `TabularDataSupport` instance are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding row from this `TabularDataSupport` instance, via the `Iterator.remove()`, `Set.remove(Object)`, `Set.removeAll(Collection)`, `Set.retainAll(Collection)`, and `Set.clear()` operations. It does not support the `Set.add(E)` or `Set.addAll(Collection)` operations.
    Specified by:
      `keySet` in interface `Map<Object,Object>`
    Specified by:
      `keySet` in interface `TabularData`
    Returns:
      a set view (`Set<List<?>>`) of the keys used to index the rows of this `TabularDataSupport` instance.

  - ### values

    public Collection<Object> values()
    Returns a collection view of the rows contained in this `TabularDataSupport` instance. The returned `Collection` is a `Collection<CompositeData>` but is declared as a `Collection<Object>` for compatibility reasons. The returned collection can be used to iterate over the values. The collection is backed by the underlying map, so changes to the `TabularDataSupport` instance are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding index to row mapping from this `TabularDataSupport` instance, via the `Iterator.remove()`, `Collection.remove(Object)`, `Collection.removeAll(Collection)`, `Collection.retainAll(Collection)`, and `Collection.clear()` operations. It does not support the `Collection.add(E)` or `Collection.addAll(Collection)` operations.
    Specified by:
      `values` in interface `Map<Object,Object>`
    Specified by:
      `values` in interface `TabularData`
    Returns:
      a collection view (`Collection<CompositeData>`) of the values contained in this `TabularDataSupport` instance.

  - ### entrySet

    public Set<Map.Entry<Object,Object>> entrySet()
    Returns a collection view of the index to row mappings contained in this `TabularDataSupport` instance. Each element in the returned collection is a `Map.Entry<List<?>,CompositeData>` but is declared as a `Map.Entry<Object,Object>` for compatibility reasons. Each of the map entry keys is an unmodifiable `List<?>`. The collection is backed by the underlying map of this `TabularDataSupport` instance, so changes to the `TabularDataSupport` instance are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the `Iterator.remove()`, `Collection.remove(Object)`, `Collection.removeAll(Collection)`, `Collection.retainAll(Collection)`, and `Collection.clear()` operations. It does not support the `Collection.add(E)` or `Collection.addAll(Collection)` operations.

    IMPORTANT NOTICE: Do not use the `setValue` method of the `Map.Entry` elements contained in the returned collection view. Doing so would corrupt the index to row mappings contained in this `TabularDataSupport` instance.

    Specified by:
      `entrySet` in interface `Map<Object,Object>`
    Returns:
      a collection view (`Set<Map.Entry<List<?>,CompositeData>>`) of the mappings contained in this map.
    See Also:
      - `Map.Entry`

  - ### clone

    public Object clone()
    Returns a clone of this `TabularDataSupport` instance: the clone is obtained by calling `super.clone()`, and then cloning the underlying map. Only a shallow clone of the underlying map is made, i.e. no cloning of the indexes and row values is made as they are immutable.
    Overrides:
      `clone` in class `Object`
    Returns:
      a clone of this instance.
    See Also:
      - `Cloneable`

  - ### equals

    public boolean equals(Object obj)
    Compares the specified obj parameter with this `TabularDataSupport` instance for equality.

    Returns `true` if and only if all of the following statements are true:

    - obj is non null,
    - obj also implements the `TabularData` interface,
    - their tabular types are equal
    - their contents (ie all CompositeData values) are equal.
    This ensures that this `equals` method works properly for obj parameters which are different implementations of the `TabularData` interface.
    Specified by:
      `equals` in interface `Map<Object,Object>`
    Specified by:
      `equals` in interface `TabularData`
    Overrides:
      `equals` in class `Object`
    Parameters:
      `obj` - the object to be compared for equality with this `TabularDataSupport` instance;
    Returns:
      `true` if the specified object is equal to this `TabularDataSupport` instance.
    See Also:
      - `Object.hashCode()`
      - `HashMap`

  - ### hashCode

    public int hashCode()
    Returns the hash code value for this `TabularDataSupport` instance.

    The hash code of a `TabularDataSupport` instance is the sum of the hash codes of all elements of information used in `equals` comparisons (ie: its tabular type and its content, where the content is defined as all the CompositeData values).

    This ensures that `t1.equals(t2)` implies that `t1.hashCode()==t2.hashCode()` for any two `TabularDataSupport` instances `t1` and `t2`, as required by the general contract of the method `Object.hashCode()`.

    However, note that another instance of a class implementing the `TabularData` interface may be equal to this `TabularDataSupport` instance as defined by `equals(Object)`, but may have a different hash code if it is calculated differently.

    Specified by:
      `hashCode` in interface `Map<Object,Object>`
    Specified by:
      `hashCode` in interface `TabularData`
    Overrides:
      `hashCode` in class `Object`
    Returns:
      the hash code value for this `TabularDataSupport` instance
    See Also:
      - `Map.Entry.hashCode()`
      - `Object.equals(Object)`
      - `Map.equals(Object)`

  - ### toString

    public String toString()
    Returns a string representation of this `TabularDataSupport` instance.

    The string representation consists of the name of this class (ie `javax.management.openmbean.TabularDataSupport`), the string representation of the tabular type of this instance, and the string representation of the contents (ie list the key=value mappings as returned by a call to `dataMap.``toString()`).

    Specified by:
      `toString` in interface `TabularData`
    Overrides:
      `toString` in class `Object`
    Returns:
      a string representation of this `TabularDataSupport` instance
